The Beast, Stainless Steel Fridge

Like all southern women, our kitchen is our pride and joy, and although we will not admit it our worst nightmare,  cook, clean , cook clean. 

I like millions of others just had to have those beautiful stainless appliances.  They are like diamonds, in the store they sparkle shine, just beautiful.  We think oh my! my kitchen will look those in the magazines and of course those TV shows on kitchen makeovers.

Then they are delivered and such joy, how beautiful they look in our kitchens.  All our friends are impressed. 

THEN the spots,  it looked like a stainless dalmation fridge.

Why are they not shining like a diamond anymore.  Oh gosh cleaning is all time, every day , or with me every night.  I paid too much for this,  My husband told me not to buy stainless, sure can't let him be right, now can we?

I searched and searched, we all know google knows all.  I bought and tried all of it. Finally I settled on just plain old fashion lemon oil.   Wowee, shinny and pretty.  Then the build up, and lord help me I live in the country , dust is not my friend.   Well all that lemon oil and dust that just sneaks in like the worst burglar we could ever have, my beautiful stainless fridge looks like my stainless steel grill on the deck ( and that is another whole blog on that thing)
 
So with a little help from a glass of good red wine, I took the plunge.  Searched my cabinets on what is safe for stainless steel.  Awhile back I found this wonderful stuff from the Dollar Tree,  Yes we southern women love a deal.  $1.00 a bottle. It worked wonders on my other demon the stainless grill, but this is my pride and joy, do I dare put this on my dream fridge.  Well, I had another glass of merlot, and just sprayed the entire fridge down with it. Wiped it off with my one of my hubby's old tshirts, we won't let him know about that, think it was his favorite. 

Amazing, it cleaned all the build up off, even the water spots.  I used just a very  little of my old stand by lemon oil to make it super shiny again.

And my goodness, it looks that the diamond in the store again! 

By the way, the stuff is Awesome, no it is , but that is the name of it.  Or sometimes it's labeled LA's Totally Awesome.  I first tried it on my old fridge which was just old fashion white, it made it sparkle.  I bought mine at the Dollar Tree for just a dollar a bottle.

Stay tuned for more old southern women hints.
