DIY Stainless Steel Cleaner

Ingredients:

• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon baking soda (optional, for extra scrubbing power)
• 10-15 drops of essential oil (like lemon or tea tree for a fresh scent, optional)

Instructions:

1. Combine the Ingredients:
   • In a spray bottle, mix together the white vinegar and water. If you’re using baking soda, add it slowly to the mixture (it may fizz).
2. Add Essential Oils:
   • If you want a pleasant scent, add a few drops of your chosen essential oil to the mixture. This is optional.
3. Shake Well:
   • Secure the lid on the spray bottle and shake gently to combine all the ingredients.
4. Apply the Cleaner:
   • Spray the solution onto the stainless steel surface you want to clean. Make sure to cover all areas evenly.
5. Wipe Clean:
   • Using a soft cloth or microfiber cloth, wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. This will help to avoid streaks and ensure a shiny finish.
6. Buff for Shine:
   • For an extra shine, buff the stainless steel surface with a dry cloth after cleaning.

Tips:

• Always test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it won’t damage the finish.
• For tough stains, let the cleaner sit for a few minutes before wiping it off.
• Regular cleaning will help maintain the shine and prevent build-up.

Enjoy your sparkling stainless steel surfaces!
