Stainless steel

White spots are usually hard-water scale, and brown specks usually come from iron left by cast iron pans or steel wool. Wash off the grease, wipe with the grain, treat rust specks with a stainless steel cleaner, and dry the sink after use. Don't let bleach sit in a stainless sink.

Stainless steel streaks mostly come from cleaner residue and wiping against the grain. Mist a stainless steel cleaner and polish onto a microfiber cloth, wipe with the grain, then buff dry in the same direction. Skip steel wool, abrasive pastes, and bleach.

Match the product to the grime and the surface. Use an alkaline degreaser on the range and hood, a strong alkaline gel on baked-on oven carbon, and a cooktop cleaner with a scraper on glass cooktops. Wipe stainless steel with the grain and use a neutral, fragrance-free cleaner in the fridge. Finish food areas with a plain-water wipe.
