Hi Everyone! How are you doing today?

[@singit3630]

Happy it's FRIDAY!!! 😄👍

[@BlackNight603]

I've started to love cleaning, and I love all of your amazing tips! I have improved my cleaning routine so much thanks to your channel 🥰 it is so nice to come home to a clean and tidy home after a stressful day at work 😊 I didn't expect the huge contribution this makes to my life. I am so much more relaxed when things don't pile up or just stay dirty. Greetings from Germany!

[@cathyjoy9214]

First important part is to identify if it actually IS stainless steel. Most surfaces such as dishwasher doors and refrigerator-outside-surfaces are actually a 'stainless steel look' surface.

[@lilyperla9113]

Really? Wow, what next? Fake stainless steel! Thanks, for the heads up, though!

[@shaunafulcher6307]

This is exactly what I was thinking! I've been doubtful of all my appliances and sink! Perhaps there is a combination of SS and aluminum or some other, less expensive, metal? The vinegar/paper towel didn't work with my stove knobs and other water streaks on my fridge and dishwasher. Uggh.

[@jande14]

Adding these techniques to my to-do list! I would love to see a video on the best way to remove the white film/cloudiness from clear glassware and how to prevent it from happening again!

[@dianaspears4569]

Can I use cleaning vinegar? I live in Indianapolis and our water is terrible! Is the cleaning vinegar to harsh?

[@queensgarden55]

I have stainless stainless steel but prefer black. Its just that stainless steel is less. Black is sometimes hard to find or cost more. Thanks for vide0. PS like Barkeeper Friend for my bathroom.

[@dantemcgill2126]

My favourite kitchen look is composite (resin or HDF) cabinetry with a flat surface and chamfered recesses for an elegant, yet easy to clean, appearance. Appliance-wise, I have always loved stainless for white goods and, of course, the sink, but coloured brushed steel for countertop appliances. As for the countertop itself, that’s easy: quartz. 1 1/2 inch thick, and seamless.

[@vickihall8758]

Thank you for this! We have a Thermador refrigerator which has a different type of stainless. We were told not to use standard stainless products on it. I am thinking your soap and water would be okay but not quite sure. Have you come across this situation before?

[@susanhardin5182]

Thank you for this video! You read my mind! My fridge is a mess with hard water stains, I'm going to try the vinegar trick

[@truepeace3]

I LITERALLY just looked into DIY cleaning for stainless steel this morning.

[@cleanmyspace]

..and we LITERALLY have got your back 😅

[@kenmore01]

Funnily, what I use for water stains is a 50 / 50 mix of vinegar and dish soap. I say funnily because I thought it was a hack I got from you years ago. What I used to do is what you did, but with a layer of plastic wrap over the paper towel to prevent evaporation, and while that worked great, it was a hassle keeping the towel and plastic from getting out of shape (you know how plastic wrap does when it folds over and sticks to itself.) Granted, I was not fighting small drip water stains, but rather large calcium patches where water would leak and stand continuously on my counters, and build up. The dish soap / vinegar solution works because the vinegar stays in suspension in the soap and doesn't evaporate for hours. What youre left with after you wipe off the calcium is soap, which is handy. Thanks for the great info in this, especially (for me) the part about mineral oil for the finish.

[@swaha55]

Have you found a way to get those tiny black spots off the stainless steel? I have no problem getting the water stains off but I have these tiny black marks that will not come off. They have a little raised texture.

[@kenmore01]

@@swaha55 I'm no chemist, but I'll say it's likely what you have is not made of stainless steel but steel which has been plated with stainless. A magnet will not stick to true stainless steel, so you can test it. Those raised black spots are probably where there was a tiny hole in the plating, and the steel underneath is rusting.

[@swaha55]

@@kenmore01 so if the kitchen magnets stick to my fridge it is plated with stainless steel. Those little kitchen magnets do stick to my fridge so it makes sense. It’s not real stainless steel.. Is there anyway to remove those little black specks?

[@kenmore01]

@@swaha55 probably not in any way that will not mess up the appearance in other ways, and since you're talking about a fridge door, yes, it would be plated. Depending on the year and model of your fridge, you may be able to order a new panel. Often the appearance face is replaceable so you could get white, black or stainless as options. If that's the case, you may be able to order a new stainless one. Sadly though, it may not be worth it to you, so you may just be stuck with them.

[@julieconnors15]

Such great info that I didn't know about. Thank you so much. I heard about you from Clutter Bug and headed on social to follow you. Seriously going to follow along and change how I clean, because let's face it....I'm " lazy ". Question though, do you have any information on cleaning your clothes, not so much the machine? Love this. ❤

[@tinasesselmann8170]

Awesome tips, as always! I have an electric kettle made of stainless steal, and I'm pretty good at descaling it regularly. BUT there's some nasty limescale build-up at the lip of the kettle. The manual says not to use vinegar! What do I do to get rid of that buildup?

[@janedough6575]

Citric acid? I’ve used it to clean my stainless electric kettle.

[@tamistrobel8554]

So do you have any other recommendations if you have an appliance the is just the stainless steel look?

[@davidstarkey295]

@cleanmyspace, Question about the dish soap cleaning solution: Is there such a minimal amount of soap in the solution that you don't need to do a rinse pass? Perhaps I'm using too much dish soap, as i get a "sticky, tacky residue" after spraying surfaces. I'm concerned about soap residue being on food preparation surfaces, as I've made that mistake before... Thanks, -David

I have a brushed stainless steel gas cooktop. The burners have some sort of brown residue/stains (possibly from the natural gas flames?) that won’t come off with using a flat weave cloth and water. I’m not sure what kind of cleaning agent I can use that won’t scratch or ruin the surface. Any suggestions?

Made a huge mistake once, okay a few times. My husband got polyurethane on the fridge door. I couldn't get it off. So I had the brilliant idea to use a magic eraser. Bad idea! It took the top coating off. Then I realized that I had been using the magic eraser for years cleaning my kitchen sink. No wonder it looked very dull..I love the magic eraser, but never knew that it shouldn't be used on stainless steel

[@leonahanson9127]

You might not be wasting any energy, but at the sacrifice of natural flow and momentum. Good thing your hand is not Evel Knievel because that was an awkward jump and you bounced the landing pretty badly. If it doesn't seem like much, watch in super slow-mo. Though it's pretty obvious in real time as well. 2:41 And a few seconds later you nearly drop the bike. Lucky it's just a hand towel in this case. All the while your bragging about your style. SMH Otherwise, I do appreciate the info. Thank you for that. And for speaking in an adult timbre rather than a squeaky mock teen girl voice.
