There is a downside to having a stainless steel kitchen . The sleek look shows remnants from everyone who has ever touched it. Fingerprints, scratches, water marks, smudges and whatever else is in the kitchen sticks out like a sore thumb, turning your beautiful, shiny kitchen into a fingerprint autograph book. A Microfibre Cleaning Cloth and a little rubbing alcohol, make sure to go with the grain when wiping the surface. The alcohol will dissolve quickly and dry streak-free. Avoid all together if you suffer with a OCD!
