What's the best thing to use to clean a stainless steel cooker?

I tried some stuff but it left streaky marks. :(

If you use soft soapy water to remove the heavy grease (or there is a make called Mr Rescue which is good), the best thing to use thereafter is baby oil believe it or not! Only a tiny bit on a soft cloth but it cleans and protects.



Good Luck!

I used to work in a kitchen full of stainless, we used to have to use Ajax, wipe it on with one cloth, off straight away with another, with the grain, then buff like mad, it was so tiring :(

Best think is Elbowgrease.Any goood Hardware shop should stock it.

Buy an E-Cloth - I give them away with every kitchen I sell with stainless appliances as they are so good. You can get a double pack that has 2 different cloths in that between them are suitable for cleaning just about anything - it's just water as well, no chemicals surprisingly. Steve & Darrren at Studio Kitchen Design at Attercliffe sell them for £8ish.

Yeah Johnsons baby oil is pretty good, doesn't smear!

Then again, is it flammable? If it is.. cleaning a hob with it would probably go down about as well as a turd in a trifle :|

LOL!!! We seem to do ok! It's great for our five ring burner - my other half things he's in a chinese kitchen!!!

There's a product called barkeeper's friend that john lewis sell (I've seen it in somewhere like sainsbury's too). It's like a cross between jif cream and Ajax powder.

Believe it or not W.D.40 It works a treat

Dab a little olive oil (or baby oil) on some kitchen roll and wipe the stainless steel, it gives it a lovely sheen.

Boy, what a lot of different responses!

I use vinegar. Strips off grease and fingerprints. Which, I suppose are technically grease, too.

But, I use vinegar to clean the linoleum floor, too.

And windows.
