To clean clean steel, focusing on achieving an extra level of shine and protection, you can use dish soap followed by baby oil.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Clean with Dish Soap: Use a mild dish soap and a soft cloth to remove any residual water spots or streaks from the already cleaned steel surface. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a clean, lint-free cloth.
-
Apply Baby Oil: Place a small amount of baby oil onto a clean microfiber cloth. A little goes a long way!
-
Polish in the Direction of the Grain: Gently rub the baby oil onto the steel surface, moving the cloth in the direction of the grain (if applicable). This will help to avoid streaks. The baby oil will create a protective layer and enhance the shine.
-
Buff (Optional): If desired, use a separate clean, dry microfiber cloth to buff the surface, further enhancing the shine and removing any excess oil.
This method not only cleans but also polishes and protects the steel, leaving it with a beautiful, lustrous finish. The baby oil provides a barrier against fingerprints and water spots, making future cleaning easier.
