You love your stainless steel kettle, toaster, sandwich maker … ?
But hate the marks that always appear on them ?
I use the milk jug/frother on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, due to the electrical component, I find it difficult to clean on the outside.
My best friend for this problem always has been vinegar.
Ideally, you will use the cheapest and clearest vinegar : distilled malt or distilled alcohol.
If you ran out of simply don't use these, you can use white wine vinegar, tarragon or cider vinegar.
As a last resort, use the red wine vinegar or brown malt vinegar.
Do keep away from the darker kind : balsamic, jerez etc as they often are too sticky.
Simply pour a few drops onto a piece of kitchen paper or a cloth and rub the appliance.
You will be amazed at how well and how fast it works !
If you have a stainless steel fridge or door, do not use the vinegar but use baby oil.
Not only this will make the finger marks vanish but it will create a coating on the door to prevent marks for few days !
Good advice, I'd forgotten how many uses vinegar has.
ReplyDeleteThank you Frances.
DeleteThe uses are endless. There are entire books dedicated to vinegar and its usage ;-)
I've just tried using vinegar. It works!!! Thank you xx Linda Guest
DeleteYou are most welcome Linda. xx
DeleteI love vinegar to clean with. It's great in the washing machine too. Half a cup in the rinse load helps kill germs and odours, works like a fabric softener and cleans the machine and the pipes out. Cheap as too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea Mary !
DeleteI didn't know this trick but it makes perfect sense.
Thank you for sharing.
