## How to Clean Brushed Steel Kitchen Appliances
Brushed steel kitchen appliances are a popular choice for their sleek and modern look. However, they can be difficult to clean, as the brushed finish can easily show fingerprints and smudges. Here are a few tips on how to clean brushed steel kitchen appliances:
**Materials you’ll need:**
– Mild dish soap
– Warm water
– Soft cloths
– Microfiber cloths
– Glass cleaner
**Instructions:**
1. **Wipe down the appliance with a soft cloth dampened with warm water.** This will remove any loose dirt or debris.
2. **Apply a small amount of mild dish soap to a soft cloth.** Dish soap is gentle enough not to damage the finish of your appliances, but it is still effective at removing dirt and grime.
3. **Gently rub the cloth over the appliance in a circular motion.** Be sure to follow the grain of the steel.
4. **Rinse the appliance with a clean, damp cloth.** This will remove any soap residue.
5. **Dry the appliance with a microfiber cloth.** Microfiber cloths are lint-free and will not leave any streaks.
