Stainless Steel

If you're talking about sinks & appliances, then I use the spray that you can get at most any grocery store - can't think of the brand, but it's Stainless Steel cleaner. If you're talking about pots & pans, then I use Bar Keepers Friend...I use it on my sink as well. It's wonderful!! Takes any baked on grease, food, black spots, etc., off - I can't say enough about it!!! Hope this helps!!

I find that fantastic (the green one) works great! It can also be used on marble, chrome, mirrors....its just fantastic!

Ditto on the Baby Oil! I swear by it. Use it once a week and for in-between cleaning get a good Stainless Steel Cleaner (you can find them everywhere)

Once you clean it.....wipe it down with baby oil. Makes it look shiny and clean. That's what I do with my sink. I'm sure if you have ss appliances you wouldn't want baby oil on them...they'd be too slick

Mild detergent, (dish washing liquid) and cloth.

For cleaning that needs more power, mild detergent and warm water can do a great job without damaging the stainless steel. Make sure you rinse the surface thoroughly to prevent staining and spotting. Towel dry to prevent water spots which can be caused by minerals in water

Stainless Steel Cleaner.

If you’ve had staining or scratching, or need to polish your stainless steel, a stainless steel cleaner may be a good option. Some of these cleaners and polishes can help minimize scratching and remove stains. They also can polish stainless steel surfaces nicely. Read the directions on the stainless steel cleaner and test in an inconspicuous spot

Depending on the surface finish of your stainless steel, abrasive cleaners can cause scratching. Duller finishes probably won’t show scratching as much as mirror or highly polished finishes. When in doubt, test in a hidden spot, and also work from the least risky type of cleaning, (ie water) to the heavy duty stuff.

Do not forget to rinse.

Gritty or dirty water, or residue from cleaning solutions left on a stainless steel surface can stain or damage the finish.

Do not use cleaners containing chlorine.

While it may be second nature to bleach everything, stainless steel and chlorine don’t mix. Stay away from the bleach when you clean stainless steel.

Do not use steel wool or steel brushes.

These products leave little particles in the surface of the steel and inevitably these particles begin rusting and staining the surface of the steel.

They also can excessively scratch the surface of your stainless steel.
Do not assume it's the cleaner.

If you do have some spotting or staining, and you've followed all of the rules, it may not be the cleaner. Water, especially hard water, can leave spotting and staining on stainless steel surfaces. Towel dry after rinsing can end the problem.

If you have appliances, I use the Method wipes for stainless steel you can find them at Target and Lowes.
For the sink I use CAMEO aluminum and SS cleaner from Walmart. Just follow their directions to a T. You should have no problem.
Good Luck!
