How to clean stainless steel 7 tips for cleaning and polishing stainless steel
Polishing steel surfaces is crucial for maintaining their durability and appearance, especially in kitchens where they are prone to stains from food remnants and splashes. While stainless steel has a protective coating, it requires regular maintenance to prevent persistent stains.
DIY solutions like using oil, glass cleaner, or a microfiber cloth can help keep steel shiny, though they may not guarantee the best results. The HG stainless-steel cleaner, specifically designed for this purpose, effectively removes grease, dirt, and fingerprints, leaving a streak-free finish and an invisible protective layer. Avoid harsh scrubbing or aggressive cleaners to protect the surface. Regular cleaning immediately after exposure to dirt ensures long-lasting beauty. Could there be more to stainless steel maintenance than meets the eye?

3 DIY products for cleaning stainless steel
HG stainless-steel cleaner is an effective product for cleaning steel. Mild cleaners and cloths can also keep steel shiny. We collected the 3 most common DIY products.
1. Polish stainless steel with oil
Apply a drop of olive oil, baby oil or vegetable oil on a cloth and use it to wipe off the steel. With this method your steel surface will become shiny again. We do not recommend this method. Dirt on steel in the kitchen generally consists of grease splashes. Polishing grease with grease makes steel shine, but it doesn’t make it clean.
2. Clean stainless steel with glass cleaner
It is effective to remove dirt and grease with grease-removing products. Glass cleaner is a product that works well. Spray glass cleaner onto the steel and then polish it gently with a soft cloth. Polish the surface dry to prevent streaks.
3. Clean stainless steel with a microfibre cloth
Remove dirt and grease with a microfibre cloth. These cloths retain dirt and moisture. Wipe with the lines of the steel, otherwise you continue to see streaks. Avoid using materials, such as a scouring sponge or steel wool. Hard scrubbing and scouring damages the protective coating of the steel. It also produces a great chance of scratches.
