How to Clean your Stainless Steel Appliances: Our Top 10 Natural Solutions

Cleaning stainless steel home appliances is easier than you think whether you are removing stains, fingerprints, or other dirt. In fact you have some of the top 10 natural solutions already on your shelves at home. You may think these items are only for baking or cooking, but in reality they are also some of the best cleaning remedies you can ever find. It might be a little shocking to see what is on the list. You may not imagine how they can help, but they do.Cleaning Kitchen Appliance Fan Vents on Microwave Oven

  • Olive Oil
  • Club Soda
  • Vinegar
  • Baking Soda
  • Peroxide
  • Baby oil
  • Orange
  • Lemon
  • Sunflower Oil
  • Ketchup

You are probably extremely surprised by the above list. You might have thought of a few of these ingredients as cleaners, but not all of them. You may also have thought about natural cleaners sold in stores and found they don’t work. Try out just one of the ingredients on the list and you will be surprised at how well your appliance comes clean.

Ketchup is the oddest option mentioned and surprisingly very effective on steel, silver, copper and other metals. You take a little bit of catch and wipe it on your appliance with a sponge. It doesn’t need to be on long, just a few seconds before you rinse with water as you would with any cleaning ingredient. Your stainless steel will sparkle like it is new. Ketchup, the main ingredient as tomatoes, has some acidic properties and sugar. The combination is able to work on most grime left by fingerprint oils and dust to bring out the shine in your stain less steel.

While most of the products mentioned above can work alone like lemon and orange due to its acidic properties you also have some that need to be combined to work well.

For example peroxide and baking soda need to be combined together with ¼ peroxide, a couple table spoons of baking soda and the rest water for a cup of cleaner. The combination of peroxide and baking soda creates a natural reaction that is strong enough to remove all the grime.

You might wonder how oil, as there are two mentioned can be used to remove fingerprint oil and other dirt. It does boggle the mind a little, but nevertheless is effective. The properties in both oils take away fingerprint oil and then require a nice clean swipe with a little water and a soft rag. The stainless steel shines again while your fingerprints and dust are missing.

Vinegar can also be combined with items like lemon or baking soda to offer a nice, clean look for your stainless steel appliances. If you are not sold on these natural solutions there are certainly all natural cleaners sold in stores. However, take a look at the main natural ingredients and you will find they are very closely related to the items mentioned above.

You never want to leave any of the suggested ingredients on long. Acid can become damaging particularly lemon which is known to tarnish metals, so a quick clean with a rag and some water will help you make your appliances shine without damage.
