I have a lot of stainless steel appliances, and they need to be cleaned A LOT! Stainless steel cleaner is pricey - usally about $4 a pop, so I have been working with some things I alredy have in my home that are cheap, environmentally friendly and kid friendly. Oh yeah, and I don't want it to streak - turns out white vingear in water (1:20) does a good job, and so far, no streaks. Cheap, easy, and if the kids get into it and drink some - no worries!
**Ooops - 1:10 on the vinegar and water, course you can go higher if you need it!!

One part white vinegar to 20 parts water? (Just want to make sure I understand...)
I often use equal parts vinegar and rubbing alcohol as an all-purpose, disinfecting cleaner. It doesn't streak my mirrors, and the smell of the vinegar dissipates in time.
I have found that my vinegar and alcohol mixture makes the fumes from chlorine-based cleaners really pungent, though. I don't know why, maybe someone here can explain the chemistry behind it? But anyway, I don't recommend using vinegar, alcohol, and chlorine together.
Meant 1:10, so I corrected it - thanks for pointing that out.
My next project is oven cleaner - we'll see if I can do that one - any suggestions?
Thanks for reading!
No suggestions on the oven cleaner. If you came to my kitchen, you'd see why, LOL. Cleaning the oven is just about my least-liked chore, UGH. (But if you'd like to test your new concoction over at my house, please be my guest!)
