What is the best home remedy to clean stainless steel?

Baking soda is an efficient home remedy to clean stainless steel. Make a paste out of baking soda and water and rub it gently on the surface, always in the direction of the grain. If you see any white residue left from the baking soda, just wipe away with a dry, clean cloth.

Vinegar is also effective at cleaning stainless steel since it’s natural and doesn’t have any harsh chemicals. A mixture of vinegar and mineral oil is a great home solution to try—just use one part mineral oil to one part white vinegar and add essential oil drops to your preference if the smell of vinegar bothers you. Place the oil and vinegar mixture in a spray bottle, and spray on the stainless steel surface. With a clean cloth, wipe using short strokes and making sure to wipe away any residue.

What should you not use to clean stainless steel?

Avoid using any harsh chemicals or multi-purpose cleaners that contain bleach or ammonia on your stainless steel appliances, and only use a clean, microfiber cloth to wipe the surface. Steel brushes and steel wool pads should not be used since they can scratch the surface of your appliance.

How do you help remove stains and discoloration from stainless steel?

You can help remove stains or discoloration on stainless steel with a mixture of baking soda and water.

If you have particularly stubborn stains or discoloration that takes a little more effort, dilute some vinegar with water, wipe it on the stainless steel surface and wipe it away immediately with a dry paper towel or cloth.
