Hi. Can anyone recommend a product or method for cleaning stainless steel kitchen appliances without leaving smears and streaks.
A small thing I know but it is driving me mad! Any tips greatly appreciated. Thanks.

i use this:

but the cream/gel format rather than the spray and it brings my stainless steel up a treat! I have also heard that baby oil is good as a finish after cleaning it.

However you need to ensure that your appliances actually are stainless steel and not something else, as I used this cif on all my appliances and it made everything look lovely except the cooker, which I later found out wasn't steel!

All I use is a cloth soaked in hot water with a bit of fairy and buff it dry with a towel. Works far better than any cleaner

Windolene works a treat, just spray and clean!

Thanks for your comments.

Chazza: that is exactly what I bought (spookily enough from Tesco's too) but it still leaves a streaky finish.

Tickledtrout: Your method gives the best results but still visible smears.

Laura: I have tried Mr Muscle window cleaner but still smears.

Maybe my appliances are not stainless steel but I am pretty sure that they are. I'll check the instructions.

I might just have to live with the situation but it strongly conflicts with my Virgoan nature. Thanks again.

you need to use something course to clean with..like good quality kitchen roll or even newspaper. Soft dishclothes do tend to leave smears.

i use baby wipes. good ones like huggies. they leave no smears on stainless steel and are good at cleaning anything. much cheaper than polish wipes.

I wash them with a solution of dishwasher tablet disolved in hot water - this does leave streaks, but leaves them perfectly clean. I then buff them with some baby oil on a piece of kitchen roll, or a baby wipe containing baby oil.
