Hi Ruth,

Thank you for your question.  Typically Merry Maids team members use a stainless steel cleaner for regular cleaning and maintenance. But what causes streaking in most cases is oily fingerprints. You may clean and polish stainless steel with vinegar:

To clean and polish stainless steel, simply moisten a cloth with undiluted white or cider vinegar and wipe clean. Can also be used to remove heat stains on stainless steel cutlery.

To remove streaks, we often use a lemon oil product diluted with a gallon of water, but you may use Murphy’s Oil Soap or even olive oil. If you use olive oil, you want to apply a small amount to a soft cloth and rub over the entire surface. Sometimes club soda may be used to remove streaks or heat stains from stainless steel by rubbing with club soda.

    I use Windex on all of my stainless stell appliances and it works great. I just happened to actually read the label and noticed it stainless steel was on its list of uses…so i tried it and it did the job.
