All my appliances are from Frigidaire's higher end lines.
Here is a video I found

Imo, s/s is very high maintenance (although lovely) and also very trendy (as in, I do not expect to see it around in 20 years, and for good reason--upkeep.) Reminds me, in particular, of my father's restaurant kitchens! Well, gee, someone was paid every night to keep those wiped down! My mother would've FLIPPED if she'd had those in her home kitchen!
I get the beauty, I get the trend, I really do. They look really nice. But honestly, every house SO and I saw during our buying process...we were like "oh, it's s/s..." disappointed, in those kitchens. We were really looking for classic. We were lucky to find a bare-bones somewhat new construction house that didn't have any apps whatsoever, so we could do with it what we wanted. We'll likely be here for 5 years, so I don't feel like the next round of buyers will be super concerned about s/s. Perhaps they'll already be over the trend, which of course, will be to our advantage.

Has anyone tried it? We just spray a bunch of windex, then wipe with the 'grain' of the stainless with paper towels.
Ours are the fairly low-end stainless finish, maybe there's a difference with the high-end stuff?
Works for us.

This is a long thread about the challenges and tricks of cleaning something you had to pay extra for because it is . . . uhm . . . stainless.
Pardon moi, but I'm having a bit of a George Carlin moment here.
