Will try both methods. I use cream cleanser on a scourer pad (the idea being is that if anything can scrub away any tough but tiny misty grease drops, it will indeed be scrubbed away this way). Then I wipe it and wipe it till there's no tomorrow with those no-streak, no-lint villeda "cloths". And then I stand back, looking at the fine misty grease drops reapperaing (but not always ). My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ... Re: White or Stainless Steel appliances? 13Jan 03, 2011 1:45 pm I got those misty greasy drop looking things once, it was because someone else cleaned it with something it didn't like so I had to rub and rub really hard with gumption, no scourer, they finally disappeared and I then cleaned it with the MF cloths. Re: White or Stainless Steel appliances? 14Jan 04, 2011 6:11 am Hi Renobliss I'm going to go with White. I've had both. SS is fine so long as you get the one that has the protective factory film for no fingermarks. But in the end you still have to clean more , and by clean I mean you can have it clean but then your cleaning cloth will leave marks so you have to then clean those off. When I do my kitchen, I'm having white cupb'ds, white granite with grey flicks and white appliances. I already have my white dishwasher and fridge. I'll go the ceramic or induction cooker as we dont have nat gas. As for my ovens, I know it is getting really difficult to get certain ones in white. So might have to be SS, but wont be seen and I dont want to make a statement with it anyway so thats fine. I will be adding a SS kettle though. Or maybe a red one. My colours will be whites, greys and a hint of red to liven things up. I'm even going as far as to investigate ceramic sinks. Havent fully decided as yet. A lot of researching still to do. Eitherway though, SS or white will both look lovely. I dont like SS due to childs fingerprints etc. No matter what, white is definately not as much cleaning as non filmed SS. Good luck with your decision. Re: White or Stainless Steel appliances? 15Jan 04, 2011 7:08 am So much to think about! Thank you all for the suggestions (and cleaning hints, definitely keeping them in mind!). I'm madly googling pictures at the moment to make some more comparisons Will let you know what we decide Re: White or Stainless Steel appliances? 16Jan 04, 2011 8:55 am emlet01 .... and all the plastic trim has an ugly yellowed tone to it, that would look even worse against white cupboards and would really stand out. I have experienced the same on my, now 12 yo, appliances. My vote is for SS which will be my next appliances. Re: White or Stainless Steel appliances? 17Jan 04, 2011 9:59 am Agree with garden lover - especially if you have white cupboards. ( we don't now but will do when we next build) We have eveything above the bench ss atm ( microwave/wall oven and kettle/toaster)....and everything below the bench white...which is only dishwasher and fridges. I just bought new fridges and bought them white because (1. keeping in mind next build) and 2. the floor, bench and timber door trims are also white so they match/blend better. Plastic trim on dishwasher has not yellowed or changed in 6 years, although the plastic on our older one at our beach house has yellowed terribly!! Just lucky which model I guess. ss is harder to keep clean...and keep the ss cleaner off the glass so the glass doesn't smear. Our glass on both oven and microwave is mirrored and the stuff from the ss cleaner is a nightmare for leaving purpley streaks on the mirrored glass.
