I've tried the Target brand cleaner, Vinegar, Bar Keepers Friend. I don't know if I'm not using the right product or if I just don't know how to do it correctly. It's all streaky. Please help. Thanks!!

I use baking soda along with the 50/50 vinegar/water in a spray bottle. I spray first, then sprinkle the baking soda and then spray again and then scrub. Then rinse well.

We use stainless steel wipes that you can buy from Home Depot. Works great!

We also use baby oil! The guy at Lowes recommended it as I was poised to purchase $10 worth of "special" cleaner. What I love about it is that you can also use the baby oil on the black trim and it keeps it nice and shiny looking too.

I just take a paper towel and fold it into fours. Then I pour a little dab on one side, wipe it all over, and then go back over it with a clean side.

Let us know what works for you!

I mix equal amounts of rubbing alcohol and baby oil together. Works great!

I use a mixture of 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water in a spray bottle. Then I make sure to wipe with "cheap" paper towels since they don't have as much lint in them. I hope this helps!!!

Try a product call "BON AMI" It's a gentle cleanser with cornstarch. It's great on tubs, windows and any surfaces. This product is made in Canada. Three generations in my family has used it.

I use Tough N Tender also. Comes in wipes and I can't speak enough about it. The best thing is that it made with no formaldeydes, caustic chemicals, abrasives,ammonia or phosphates-which having children around is an absolute must for me. It all with baking soda, vinegars, and natural oils, etc. Email me if you don't know where to get it.

I use Tough n Tender...not only does it work great, you can also use it for you countertops and kitchen tables. The best thing about it: it's nontoxic and safe! Can also use Rustic Touch and again, no harsh chemicals. As are all the products that I use!

Good luck!
