While I personally love the look of stainless steel, I use to constantly wipe down my appliances\u00a0with an all-in-one stainless cleaner, which still somehow left small stains (like the drip of a watermark embedded into the material) and drove me CRAZY!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This post is in response to a question over on my<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/homestagingtips\">Facebook Fan Page<\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">from Debbie H. who asked, &#8220;how do I clean stainless steel appliances?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Cleaners for Stainless Steel<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When cleaning this material you want to avoid using harsh abrasives, scouring powders, steel wool, bleach, and ammonia.
