"Using a soft dry cloth wipe the cleaner in the direction of the grain. If you're using a dish soap solution rinse it off with a soft damp cloth."

"Add white vinegar to a clean spray bottle.
Spray down your stainless-steel appliance.
Wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.
Once clean, dip your cloth into a small amount of olive oil.
Move the cloth in the direction of the grain."

"“Wipe marks” are generally either water marks or grease marks. Once you have thoroughly washed the “thing” you are cleaning using the correct chemical (for example a degreaser for cooker hoods) ensuring that all grease has gone. Allow to dry, then use tiny sprays of window and glass cleaner and buff, ensure fully dry and your stainless steal should sparkle 🙂 there is some expensive products out there, honestly get the cheapest it works the same and in some cases better!"
