Maybe one for Mumsnet...domestic cleaning issues.

Just had a new kitchen and now there is plenty of stainless steel to keep clean.

In the panel's opinion, what is the best product for ensuring a shiny, smear free finish please?

I appreciate the PH way is to leave these details to the staff, but I am the staff.

CIF Stainless Steel cleaner comes in a handy spray bottle. Or if you're after something slightly cheaper, the Astonish range have one - usually available for £1 from the likes of The Range.

You can buy stainless and granite cleaner - it cuts the greate and leaves a consistent streak free finish.

Alternatively, I find window cleaner quite good as well.

I will take a picture of the stuff I use the staff use, when I get home and I will the staff will post it on here.

I have some 3M stainless steel cleaner which comes in a aerosol can. Works a treat.

We clean all our stainless steel with babyoil. Rub it in the direction of the grain. Sounds odd, but it dissolves the bad grease and makes it lovely and shiny.

This does work.

you can use any kitchen cleaner to clean it and then use quick shine to finish it off

WD40

As a couple of people have mentioned, try a normal stainless steel cleaner from the supermarket then wipe it over with a very light oil and a soft lint free cloth.

It is what we do in the brewery to make all the stainless shiny if anyone important is coming for a look round.

Thanks everyone.

I'll give the suggestions a go.

Sorry, meant to say I will tell the butler to instruct the scullery maid to give the suggestions a go.

Well I have had the staff rounded up, taken outside and shot because they forgot to take the photo.

But here it finally is.

Astonish comes in a under a pound.

Is this sufficiently expensive for PH?

[Pints]

I suggested Astonish in the very first reply. For a pound, you can't really go wrong.

WD40

Good shout! WD40 cleans a LOT of things. Pricey for continued use though?

WD40 ~£10/l.
Baby Oil ~£7/l.
