Please give me everything you know about keeping it clean!

I have a new range cooker and it's giving me a nightmare !

Clean spills straight away, and polish with oil and then a microfibre cloth.

facepalming · 13/11/2016 20:35

Thanks the snork. Any particular oil?

I use baby oil on kitchen towel on our steel splashback.

thank you! I've tried staibless steel cleaner but can't get it streak free. Will give baby oil a go!

WD40 is good too!

SpeckledyBanana · 13/11/2016 20:39

Random, does WD40 leave a smell?

RandomMess · 13/11/2016 20:50

A bit I guess but DH loves it...

RandomMess · 13/11/2016 20:55

Those magic erasers are good for the cleaning part too, gave it a go and worked really well.

SpeckledyBanana · 13/11/2016 20:56

Wondered, as baby oil does. It doesn't last long though.

SpeckledyBanana · 13/11/2016 20:57

Magic erasers are brilliant at everything. Never thought to try them on ss though, might try that.

I like the Method Stainless Steel Cleaner on our oven.

Doesn't streak and smells lovely.

facepalming · 13/11/2016 21:01

I've been scrubbing like mad at it with a microfibre cleaning cloth for Windows and that's helped but it's still not streak free!

will be heading for baby oil in the am.

When I worked in a kitchen many moons ago we always used ajax powder on the steel but it doesn't seem to be around anymore!

Have you tried barkeeper friend? I haven't but it's amazing on my induction hob.

The magic eraser was amazing though - just from the £1 shop!

SpeckledyBanana · 13/11/2016 21:49

Nope

Wellco do a lovely cleaner that i use to clean my cooker and it always leaves my cooker sparkling!

I can second Bar Keepers Friend, possibly just Ajax in more expensive packaging. I do think that some of the problems maybe down to the quality/finish of the stainless steel. My hob is eleven years old and still looks like new, most it needs is a quick finish with a tea towel after wiping, but my sister's hob looked grim after a few months. I am not especially houseproud so don't spend ages cleaning the thing either.
