Thought I would share this cleaning tip that works for me.
Our kitchen has had A LOT of use (10 years worth) & those who know me know I do A LOT of cooking in that little kitchen. I used to use a stainless cleaner, which worked okay but there have been times when things have "cooked" on the walls - the latest being a pork marinade/glaze. Once cooked on, the stuff is near impossible to get off, even with scrubbing. Problem is, I don't want scratches from scrubbing.
Solution: Use Bon Ami! Make a light paste & use a soft bristle brush (toothbrush works great), then apply to the surface & scrub until it's clean. It really doesn't take much scrubbing. Wipe off with a wet microfiber cloth. I also wet a cloth and rub it in the paste. Then wipe down the entire counter/walls, rinse the cloth, wipe again & dry with a microfiber cloth. Not only does it clean, but it polishes the stainless. Leaves a really nice, nongreasy luster, as close as you will get to it looking new.
The great thing is IT DOESN'T SCRATCH the stainless...not at all!
So, give it a try...if scrubbing the stainless makes you a bit queasy, try it first in an out-of-the-way spot (where the stove stores).
Bon Ami is much cheaper than stainless cleaners and, for me, easier to store than a spray can cleaner.
Note: I do NOT use this on the brushed aluminum...just on the stainless.
