Hi

I've just had a new stainless steel and glass cooker hood fitted and it looks great but there are fingermarks and streaks all over the stainless steel - any idea how best to clean them off and leave it streak free and unmarked?

    Try a small amount of baby oil on a lint free cloth.

    You could use a stainless steel cream cleaner or a spray like this:

    There's also a video on the Lakeland site showing you how to use it!

    Just clean hot water and a microfibre cloth. Works a treat on mine.

    WD40 on the metal.... Maybe on the glass too.

    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    Definitely a small drop of baby oil on a microfibre cloth. Works a treat!

    If baby oil cleans grease marks off stainless steel, what is it doing to a baby's skin! :shocked:

    The MSE way would be white vinegar. which cuts through the grease of the fingerprints and lifts it off.
