Favorite eco-friendly product for Cleaning Stainless

This week my favorite product is the microfiber cloth I use to clean my refrigerator. About 18 months ago I got new stainless steel appliances after a complete overhaul of the kitchen. They looked fantastic! The in-laws were coming for Thanksgiving and I needed help! My niece came over to help me get ready and her job was to make that new fridge shine. We cleaned and polished and cleaned some more. It looked good. I made a comment about cleaning the fridge to my mother-in-law (who is a dear and precious woman) and she told me "Oh yes, you have to polish stainless to keep it looking good." UGGGHHH!!!! Not what I wanted to hear.

Then I discovered a wonderful something (or should I say I discovered a new use). I have been using microfiber products for a long time. I discovered many, many years ago the microfiber mop and used it faithfully and solely on my entry way satillo tiles. But had never thought of it for stainless. CasaBella makes a wonderful microfiber for use on stainless. I had a new love. I never thought I could love something more than my microfiber mop; the way I could use the first one to dry mop and get up the dust and then use a second, (thoroughly wet, then wring as much of the water as you can get out) without chemicals, just water to make my floors shine. But here it was, something that made me love my new stainless appliances again.

So, here's the deal. Just like with the mop, thoroughly wet, then wring nearly dry and clean your appliances in a circular motion. While the stainless appliance may still need occasionally polishing (so far I haven't found a need to do this) this microfiber is GREAT for regular use to keep your appliances looking great.

No chemicals to use, no spray-on, wipe-ff goop, no paper towels to throw away, no grime and good to wash out of your cleaning cloth. Just toss the microfiber in the wash (no fabric softeners or bleach and do not wash with terry) and air or machine dry.

  1. Jeanie recommended this product to me. It is the BEST to use on Stainless Steel. If you have Stainless Steel, this product is a must.
