Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this make the surface greasy?
A: Not if you use a minimal amount of oil and buff thoroughly. It should feel smooth, not slick.
Q: Can I use this on brushed stainless steel?
A: Absolutely—just always follow the grain to avoid scratches.
Q: What if vinegar leaves streaks?
A: Ensure your cloth is clean and only lightly damp. Vinegar evaporates quickly, so streaks usually indicate over-saturation.
Q: Is this safe for all stainless steel appliances?
A: Yes, but always test on a small corner if you’re unsure, especially with brushed or matte finishes.
