Tony's Tips: Shine Stainless Steel with Olive Oil - Sparkling DIY Stainless Steel

Do fingerprints and watermarks on your stainless steel appliances make you feel like pulling your hair out? Fear not, fellow cleaning warriors! Here at A2B Cleaning Services in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, we've got a shining solution straight from your kitchen cupboard. That's right, we're talking about the magic of olive oil for DIY stainless steel cleaning!

This tip, passed down through generations, is a total game-changer. Olive oil's natural properties not only remove streaks and smudges, but also leave a protective layer that keeps your stainless steel gleaming for longer. It's a win-win for both shine and grime defence!

What You'll Need:

• Microfibre Cloth (available from Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys)
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil (available from Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys)
• 
  

Let's Get Sparkling!

1. Clean Sweep: First things first, grab a clean, dry microfibre cloth and give your stainless steel a good wipe-down to remove any dust or debris.
2. Oil Up: Pour a tiny amount of olive oil onto a separate section of your microfibre cloth. A little goes a long way here!
3. Buff and Shine: Gently buff the olive oil onto your stainless steel in the direction of the grain. This ensures an even application and prevents streaks.
4. Polish it Off: Once buffed, use the dry side of your microfibre cloth to remove any excess oil and reveal a beautiful, streak-free shine!

Top Tips:

• Skip the Harsh Chemicals: Olive oil is a gentle and natural alternative to harsh chemical cleaners that can damage your stainless steel over time.
• Fight Fire with Fire: For stubborn grime, use a paste of baking soda (another kitchen cupboard staple!) with a little water to create a gentle scrub. Rinse well and follow with the olive oil polishing step.
• Regular Maintenance is Key: To keep your stainless steel sparkling, use this olive oil trick every few weeks, or after heavy use.

So next time your stainless steel is looking a little worse for wear, ditch the expensive sprays and reach for the olive oil! With this simple DIY tip from A2B Cleaning Services, your kitchen appliances will be shining brighter than ever. Now get out there and conquer those cleaning challenges!
