I read that it's the buildup of cleansers that leads to streaking so it you never use them, only use water, your appliances will look great!Liz Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09348394864771646396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-5434266089798994972017-05-29T16:46:50.395-04:002017-05-29T16:46:50.395-04:00I ordered some microfiber washcloths from Amazon, ...I ordered some microfiber washcloths from Amazon, and the microfiber really does make a big difference (as opposed to cotton or cotton/poly blend). I have some that are the Vibrawipe brand and some that are the Buff brand. Both work well. I like the fabric in the Vibrawipe ones a little better, but they are a couple inches bigger and end up touching my garbage disposer when I rinse them, so I use the smaller Buff ones more often).

I am not sure what they are. They were there on ours when the fridge was delivered, so I wonder if it is something that happens during manufacturing, or maybe an imperfection in the metal?Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218766072752022234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-69882824794864859922017-05-29T16:39:22.513-04:002017-05-29T16:39:22.513-04:00Ha!

One thing I would add to the water method is to never use fabric softener on your cleaning cloths. That will definitely cause streaking.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12722680308574724618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-55185685458329217202017-05-26T02:13:37.714-04:002017-05-26T02:13:37.714-04:00The only thing stainless in our kitchen is our dis...The only thing stainless in our kitchen is our dish washer and toaster. I just use some water and soft cloth, they stay pretty nice. Our stove and frig are white, yeah not as fancy or nice but it works for us. Got dish washer 2 yrs. ago, Lowes didn't have white dish washer available and we needed one quick so took what was there. Really happy with it. Lot better than no dish washer. A person gets spoiled quick with one, lol. <br />Thanks for tip, always appreciated. Enjoy your weekend. Glad to hear you're feeling better.srpprcrftrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861352034915359506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-2396980373776752302017-05-25T21:50:05.086-04:002017-05-25T21:50:05.086-04:00When I did cleaning as a second job, the company o...When I did cleaning as a second job, the company owner showed me what she used to clean mirrors. You guessed it, (hot) water! She just ran it in the sink until hot, took her gloved hand, and flicked some water onto the mirror, then wiped off with a cleaning cloth or paper towels. For "goo" (like dried toothpaste), one has to work a bit harder, but so much easier than lugging around a bottle of whatever. Vinegar and hot water works, too (but vinegar's not free).Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04189899760381509834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-45430843299839259202017-05-25T17:58:40.980-04:002017-05-25T17:58:40.980-04:00Lemon pledge works great too :)Lemon pledge works great too :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776110324378454637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-87788261427316555482017-05-25T15:37:08.950-04:002017-05-25T15:37:08.950-04:00Totally agree!

I don't dry kitchen towels with dryer sheets, either, so... <br /><br />I will continue to rely on Weiman wipes and spray to keep my SS clean and streak-free.
