    I earn my living as a cleaner; the building I work at has elevators with stainless steel interiors. I'm going to try this; I grit my teeth seeing all the marks in the steel. Thank you 😊

    Just a heads up, you shouldnt put goo gone on your bare skin. It is a solvent. Had a co-worker using it without gloves on a job consistently. Ended up in the hospital. Wont affect some people right away but it will get to you eventually. It is not good for direct skin contact. Be safe out there.

    I’ve been using glass plus on my microwave. It has chrome top and sides. I’ve had someone helping me clean & I used my penlight to look at it and it’s not looking good at all. I see him using a damp rag going in circles and I never put a lot of thought into it until tonight when I could see swirl marks and rust starting. Is there any hope the cleaner you used would help?
    I took some glass plus to it but not only was my paper towel dirty but it didn’t help get the circular marks & figure eights out of the chrome. I always go back n fourth and not circular motions. I’m starting to see rust also.

    I have a med size microwave with chrome top and sides. Some minor rust has begun. I’ve always used glass plus for the whole thing inside & out. But lately the guy guy who helps me clean has used a wet rag and just tonight I’ve noticed how bad the chrome looks when I shined my pen light to look around. There a circle marks. I went over one side with a paper towel (bounty) and it’s not looking good at all. Do you think the cleaner your using is gonna help now?

    Thank you so much for this video I've been having a hard time cleaning my fridge since I've had it, no matter what I do I always left streaks on it even going with the grain. I was using Windex and Simple Green and a paper towel. I'm about to go to the store and get some stainless steel cleaner and I'll try it with a microfiber cloth when I get home I'm sure it'll work a lot better. Thanks again

    • @bridezorko9031
      @bridezorko9031 2 роки тому

      We are in a rental and so I inherited stainless steel appliances that had rust on them. CLR worked great to take that right off (with a little elbow grease) and did not leave streaks. I also cleaned/rinsed it all off within two minutes, I followed up with another stainless cleaner. It said use water to rinse it off the CLR but that seems counter productive since water moisture was the culprit in the first place. I'm also keeping a microfiber towel (changed daily) in front of my dishwasher vent as well as underneath the icemaker.

    Very nice detailing. First of all, as such Stainless Steel Polish doesn't exist, Its a stainless steel cleaner. Stainless steel is a nonreactive neutral material. What shine it had at the time of manufacturing, you cant get more shine than that. You only have to clean with alkaline cleaner means a cleaner whose pH is more than 10 to 14. Prior to that use Citrate based cleaning material which is acidic in nature & is safe for stainless steel. Always remember Phosphoric acid ( Citric acid or lemons pH is 2) is compatible with Stainless Steel which also helps in removing hard water stains. Never ever use toilet cleaner which contains HCL & will blacken the Stainless Steel. But there is nothing as such Stainless Steel polish.

    Actually stainless steel is light, compared to mild steel, as it has less iron in it. Don't use strong acids or alkalis as it will tarnish the stainless. Use a window /glass cleaner that contains alcohol and/or glycol ethers, as it will leave a streak free shine.

      WD49 is not good safe and shouldn’t be used in a kitchen. It also gets a fridge dirty faster as the residue attracts dirt.
      It’s a kitchen and use marks like dings are normal. Putting Bondo on an appliance will look horrific, call more attention than just a dent.
