    Stardrops to degrease and remove all the dirt. Then babyoil on kitchen roll to polish. Perfect sparkling results, every time

    I was going to say the same - great minds and all that........ lol! I use Stardrops & baby oil on my stainless steel cooker once a week to give it a good clean then just wipe over the hob, doors etc daily. It really does work.

    Have you tried baby oil? That's normally recommended for stainless steel.

    Bar Keepers Friend which you can get in Lakeland is very good - brings all my stainless steel up to a lovely shiny finish.

    You can also get it in Asda, if you have one near to you.

    I use baby oil on the stainless steel things in my kitchen. You just need a little bit on a non-fluffy cloth, it really does work well.
