I've tried Cif SSC & its left smear marks (followed the instructions to the letter)
At £4+ a go its proved expensive failure.

Any suggestions.

  • depends what you are trying to clean, for SS sinks use Barkeepers Friend, for fridges, ovens, microwaves use Johnson's baby oil.

  • I clean with a basic mix of warm water and washing up liquid, dry, then give a light wipe over with baby oil.

    I just use my usual cleaning solution of Stardrop, Zoflora and water. As long as you buff it well, it shouldn't be smeary.

    I use neat bleach on my SS sink gets rid of tea stains very easily, also use Cif if I need to... SS range cooker gets a wipeover with a microfibre cloth after every use and things like the kettle and toaster get a wipe as needed.
