Simple Human Cleaning Mitt

We like to keep things simple.

Especially for everyday chores. Here is a nice, easy does it, nothing-else-required type of product that does a good job.

The Simple Human microfiber mitt ($4.99) works to keep stainless steel surfaces clean with out chemicals or cleaners - just water.

Wet on side, clean away, use the other side to buff and dry. When it gets yucky, toss it in the laundry. Think of all the paper towels (and money) you won't be throwing away!

Available at The Container Store and from Simple Human.

I bought this a while ago in the checkout line at the Container Store. I scolded myself for falling prey to a display obviously marketed toward that last-minute impulse purchase, but it was so glad when I got it home! This is truly an amazing cleaner, especially on appliances.

I've been meaning to get one of these, but I was curious to find out how well it worked. Time to get down to North & Clybourn! The Container Store can be so dangerous!

I have one of these, I figured why not try it.... I actually use it to buff my SS frig after I've used the evil chemicals to clean it. I have tried to use it wet/dry but I still get all sorts of streaks.

I just bought one of these from Crate and Barrell. I have been needing something to take care of my stainless steel kitchen island that I usually clean with windex and a rag and I snatched one up as soon as I saw it in the basket.

What a waste of my money.....it streaks and polishes nothing.

It doesn't work well with only water. But use some Method stainless steel cleaner and it works great!

polish stainless steel with petroleum jelly, or baby oil. this keeps them shiny and free from fingerprints for ages.

I've been really happy with this for cleaning stainless. I use only water and a fair amount of elbow grease. I find that a fair bit of pressure really helps. Also, be sure to rub only with the grain of the stainless, not against it. I'll try it with Method stainless cleaner, maybe that will make it easier.
