What is the best way of keeping the appliances looking new. When i bought them i purchased some stainless steel cleaner and wipes but neither on does a really good job.

Wash surfaces with hot, soapy water (dishwashing liquid is fine) and a nonabrasive sponge, working both with and against the grain (yes, stainless steel has a grain) to lift buildup. Dry with a towel. Don’t be alarmed if appliances look duller than usual; you have just removed kitchen grease and residual cleaning products. Apply a layer of stainless-steel polish according to the package directions, wiping off any excess immediately. I recommend Sheila Shine, which works as well as cream polish but requires much less elbow grease ($7 for a 10-ounce spray, $9.50 for one quart, www.sheilashine.com or 800-836-0362 for store locations). With a clean, dry towel, buff the polish into the surface, going with the grain, until it shines and the towel comes away dry. Let me know how it goes! - Evette
