In my mobile home I bought back in November I have double stainless steel sink in the kitchen. I have not been satisfied with the way it looks after I clean it up so I set out to find out a good way to clean it. If any of you have stainless steel appliances of any kind here is a nifty way to clean it than buying commercial cleaning agents.
Make a paste of four (4) parts of Cream of Tartar and one (1) part Hydrogen Peroxide. You may have to add a bit more peroxide to make it a workable paste. Using a soft clean cloth scour the surface of the sink or appliance until it is completely covered in the paste. Again using a soft clean cloth wipe all the reside out of the or off of the appliance. After it is cleaned to your satisfaction rub the entire thing with a light coat of Olive Oil. The Olive Oil serves to protect the finish and keep things from sticking to it so badly.
I hope someone may find this useful as I have.
In Christ, George

Thank you so much Bro George for this good advice, actually I've been needing to know what to use to give the top to my new wood cook stove a good cleaning, I tried baking soda and was not happy with the results.
I will give this a try...Thank you for the helpful advice!

Our Salad Master stainless steel cookware came with a little container of mystery cleaner that does a fantastic job. I ran out of it a long time ago, and have wondered what it was made of (it didn't say on the container). It was a white, fine powder. I wondered if it was part baking soda, but, like Darlene, I didn't get the results I was hoping for with baking soda. Now I wonder if it was cream of tartar! Thanks for the tip, Bro. George!

Sister Tammy,
For my '' Waterless Stainless Steel Cook Wear '' , they told me to use the gold can of '' Bar Tenders Friend '', I think that is what it is called.
I did not want to spend the money for it and it not work on my new cook stove top...so I am so thankful for Georges tip!
Now I just have to go buy cream of tarter! I'm excited to try it.
Have a great day!

Let me give you another nifty little tip about cleaning things that is very inexpensive. I won a set of KitchenAid hard anodized cookware which I just love. However over time I have some stains on the outside that appear to be things that have burned on such as overflows and things of that nature. I was trying to figure out how to clean those off without damaging the surface of the cookware when I came across this cleaning tip:
To clean your hard anodized cookware, use warm water and mild dishwashing soap with a sponge, nylon pad or dishcloth. To prevent water spotting, rinse in warm water after washing and towel dry thoroughly. It is important to clean your cookware thoroughly after each use to prevent staining from food or grease.
If staining does occur, make a paste of baking soda and water. Rub onto stains using a nylon pad and let sit for up to 30 minutes. Wash, rinse and towel dry.
DO NOT wash hard-anodized cookware in the dishwasher. Harsh chemicals like dishwasher detergents will damage the surface. Do not use oven cleaners, steel wool, harsh detergents or cleansers with chlorine bleach.
Perhaps others can use this tip. I believe it would also work on enameled cookware although it should NOT be used on aluminum as it will permanently stain the aluminum because the baking soda reacts with it.
In Christ, George
