Cleaning stainless steel

Has anyone found a good way to clean stainless steel appliances? I have tried several products from store and most leave them with more smudges...I know people seem to want stainless steel but I liked cleaning white appliances in comparison to stainless steel. There must be a magical way to clean it?
Respond to this topic here on forum.oes.org  
I have a book somewhere that had common house hold items for cleaners. I could swear I saw something in their for stainless steel. I'll have to see if I can find the book and look it up.
Paint it. 8O Ha Ha just kidding. I could never in a million
live with stainless. Firstly, smudges and prints and second,
4 boys. Enough said.
I just removed the last stainless piece, a huge range hood. I made a
nice little shelf and it turned out nicely.

First water and a drying cloth.
Second soap and water........then rinse well, drying cloth.
Third: Windex or other window cleaner....and a drying cloth.

If at that point you are still having trouble:

*Reclean with soap and water then try putting rubbing alcohol or vinegar on a rag and rub.

Apply a small amount of commercial stainless steel cleaner with a damp, soft cloth. Rub in the direction of the "grain" lines on the stainless steel appliance's finish.

To remove hard or stubborn stains, grease or baked-on foods with a nylon scouring pad and a hot, caustic soda solution. Refer to the owner's manual for instructions to prevent scratching surface.

Rinse entire surface of the appliance with warm water.

Apply a small amount of baby oil to a paper towel and rub down the entire surface of the stainless steel appliance.

I agree..........Stainless and dogs and me..........will not work! Plus I think stainless is so cold looking.
I've heard barkeepers friend works well.
Do you have THIS in the USA? It's amazing! Bath Power is the best thing I ever used for bathrooms. Don't use the kitchen one (Kitchen Power) use the bath one. It's amazing on anything shiny or brushed.

And then Cinderella, you can go to the ball. Geez Louise! 8O
I use this super awesome product, but when I went to look for the link ..I guess it's not sold anymore :( I just wrote the website to see if it'll be coming back out. I got my mil and mom to start using it too and they love it. Great for all hard surfaces and makes everything soooo shiny (Granite, all my appliances including stainless steal, and even hardwood floors). If it comes back out, I'll definitely post.

No, I'm much more the evil step sister type.......let someone else do it!!

I just posted that for ideas to the question. Me? Clean? Ha!
I use a product called Cinch. It is great for granite countertops as well.
Okay, I know this sounds crazy but I also tried all the products and hated the results SOOOO my magic cure is....olive oil. Yep, seriously. Put a little on a cloth and rub away. It takes the smudges out and leaves it looking shiny and new. Give it a try!

Interesting - but do the dogs lick the appliances? :wink:
I tried baby oil too, it's great on mirrors but doesn't beat Bath Power.
