Daily cleaning
The easiest way to clean stainless steel surfaces for fingerprints and stains on a daily basis is to use two cloths, one wet and one dry. Dampen one cloth with detergent and water and wipe in a circular motion with the damp cloth to remove fingerprints, stains and grease. Then switch to a soft, dry cloth and wipe in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel until the surface is completely dry. Wiping directly dry will avoid traces of cleaning agents and water stains being left on the stainless steel surface.

What not to clean with
Whether it is stainless steel cookware or stainless steel appliances, avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. Stainless steel may appear to have a very smooth surface, but the actual surface is minutely grained and has a frosting-like texture. However, using cleaning materials with abrasive types may scratch the surface of stainless steel and leave scratches.
