  • soft scrub works wonderful!!!
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Windex with a microfiber cloth.

  • What do you mean by "my satisfaction?"  And what on earth are you getting all over the outside of your appliances for them to not be easily cleaned?!  If I'm just doing a quick wipe down, I'll use the sanitizing wipes or a damp cloth.  If I'm doing a major cleaning, then I'll use whatever cleaning product I have at the time.  If they're black, they shouldn't be difficult to clean...ss is usually the hardest finish to keep clean because of streaking.
  • Preventative maintenance is the best way to ensure that your appliances stay clean. Wipe up any spills or drips immediately--dont let them sit overnight.  If you keep up with it, you shouldnt really have to spend any time at all cleaning them. I use dish soap and water to wipe the top of my stove, and if I need to clean the front, I just wipe it down with vinegar and water solution, and buff it dry with a dry towel. 
  • I love Simple Green for the stove top and fridge and use glass cleaner and paper towel to remove any streaks

    Seeing that she has a baby in her profile picture, assuming she has a child it could be anything on the appliances. Half eaten banana, tounge licks, yogurt, sneezes. Kids have no preference to where they wipe their hands.

    This. And I've found my black appliances to be just as difficult to keep clean as my previous ss appliances.  You'd be surprised at what shows up out of no where!

  • It has really been difficult for me to keep my black appliances clean! I use a clorox wipe on them multiple times a day, but the wipe leaves cloth particles EVERYWHERE! I am def. going to get a microfiber cloth and try that!
  • Try using Fantastik Oxy Power.  I use that on my flat top stove and it is the only thing that does not streak.  Great on the black and stainless appliances I have.
