Cleaning stainless steel

What to use? I have moved and oven and job are stainless steel. They always look grubby. Are there any easy tips to keep them clean?

You need to oil it. Clean it first with soapy water. Once dry put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth and buff. Honestly!

I have heard of people using baby oil before.

I use the stainless steel cleaner from Method. Smells of apples.

if you ever need to clean it, rub only to and fro along the direction of the brushing, not across. Circles will always show and you will never get them off. Especially if you need to use Bar Keepers Friend or a nylon scourer. Scuffs in the same direction as the brushing do not catch the eye. Baby oil is good for polishing it. You can also rub it with a barely damp cotton rag or old vest, just with water, and this will prevent watermarks.

I used to use baby oil [after cleaning with hot soapy water if required] but have now swapped to an ecloth glass and polishing cloth.
