You probably knowhow to clean stainless steel cookware, but did you know there’s a wrong way?
Save that for washing stubborn black mold off of your grout or todisinfect high-touch surfaceslike doorknobs.
You’re Going Against the Grain
Sometimes it’s cool to go against the grain!
You want to wipe stainless steel going in this direction and not perpendicular to the lines.
Otherwise, cleaning gunk can get stuck in the ridges and make the appliance look cloudy.
You’re Spraying Cleaner Directly Onto the Surface
Stop, in the name of steel!
Instead, spray your cleaning solution onto amicrofiber clothand then attack.
If youmustclean a hot pan immediately, use warm water instead to mitigate the risk.
