Cleaning stainless steel/aluminum finishes
Just curious if others experience this as well: I feel like I am constantly wiping appliances, the kitchen sink, and our flip top garbage can and no matter how often I clean them or what I use to clean them, they still have spots. Like water spots and hand prints and sometimes even a little rust, which I assume is because some things like our garbage can and soap dispenser are cheapies from Wal-Mart. How do you clean your stainless steel and/or aluminum finshes? TIA!

I use method stainless steel cleaner for our appliances and it seems to work well. Sometimes I have to use a kitchen cleaner first on places that get grimy (the back portion of the stove top) but then I still buff it with a SS cleaner.
For the garbage can (which must be aluminum or a cheap stainless steel) the cleaner doesn't do much. For that I use Barkeepers Friend - liquid. It originally bought it when I was moving out of our rental condo - the water dispenser in the fridge door made horrible water spots down the front. I didn't want to get a charge so I used that. I don't think it's really suppose to be used on appliances although the bottle says it's for stainless steel and it's snot suppose to be corrosive. It works really really great - it polishes up my porclain sink too, I just wouldn't use it as my every time cleaner.
