This is an example of streaking and dripping on stainless steel appliances that I'm oftentime told by homeowners "is a lost cause", or that they've tried everything to fix it.
Quite often these streaks and dripping marks are going to be able to be cleaned up, and your appliances can look like new again.
The first thing you can do, is stop using stainless steel cleaner alone. Most of those products are meant to be used as a polish, and not the best for everyday cleaning. Make sure you're using the right cleaners for your surfaces. Rinse cleaning products thoroughly to avoid streaks and dripping- and buff dry with the direction of grain.
Yes! Stainless steel has a grain. :)
I'll be posting a video in the future showing how to clean up these stainless steel appliances with streaks and drips in the future!
