Materials You'll Need:
Steps:
1. Preparation:
Remember to always follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and care, as some stainless steel finishes may require specific maintenance routines. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scrub brushes, or rough cloths, as they can scratch the stainless steel surface. Stick to gentle materials like microfiber cloths to ensure a streak-free and scratch-free cleaning process.
Materials You'll Need:
- Streak-free microfiber cloths
- Warm water
- Mild dish soap or stainless steel cleaner
- Spray bottle (if using a homemade solution)
- Rubbing alcohol (optional, for stubborn spots)
- Olive oil or mineral oil (optional, for polishing)
Steps:
1. Preparation:
- Unplug the refrigerator or ensure that the power is turned off to prevent any accidental activation of buttons while cleaning.
- For a homemade solution, mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap in a spray bottle.
- Moisten a streak-free microfiber cloth with the prepared cleaning solution. It's important not to make the cloth too wet, as excess moisture can lead to streaks.
- Wipe the stainless steel surface using the dampened cloth. Start from the top and work your way down to avoid any dripping.
- Use gentle, even strokes in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel. Most stainless steel appliances have a grain pattern, and wiping in the direction of the grain helps prevent streaks.
- For stubborn spots or fingerprints, you can dampen a corner of the cloth with rubbing alcohol and gently rub the area. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first to make sure alcohol won't damage the finish.
- After cleaning, use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe down the surface and remove any remaining moisture. Again, follow the grain of the stainless steel.
- For added shine, you can apply a small amount of olive oil or mineral oil to a clean cloth and rub it gently onto the stainless steel surface. Wipe away any excess oil with another clean cloth.
- Inspect the surface for streaks or smudges. If you notice any, you can use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to buff the surface gently.
- Once you're satisfied with the cleanliness and shine of the stainless steel surface, you can plug the refrigerator back in and turn on the power.
