Flour isn’t just for baking; it’s a great buffing tool for dry stainless steel sinks. Start with a clean, dry sink, then sprinkle a generous layer of flour over the surface. Using a paper towel, buff the flour into the stainless steel, much like waxing a car. When your sink starts to shine, remove the excess flour. This is a quick and easy way to bring out a brilliant shine.
6. Baby Oil to Repel Fingerprints
If fingerprints on your appliances are driving you crazy, grab a bottle of baby oil. After wiping down your appliance with a damp cloth (add a bit of vinegar if the surface is really dirty), apply a small amount of baby oil to a clean rag. Rub the oil in the direction of the grain, then buff with a dry section of the cloth until all streaks are gone. The oil will leave your appliances looking fresh and help repel future smudges.
7. Pledge for an Instant Shine
You may have used Pledge on wood furniture, but did you know it works wonders on stainless steel? Spray a generous amount onto your appliance or a clean cloth and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, wipe in circular motions with another clean cloth until the surface shines and all residue is gone. Pledge creates a protective layer that helps keep stainless steel looking cleaner for longer.
With these simple tips and common household ingredients, your stainless steel appliances can stay streak-free and shiny without much effort! Try out a few of these methods and see which works best for your home.
