Remove fingerprints from Stainless Steel Cooker Hood

[Wesley]

Chimney type and just installed.

Followed suggestion to use Windolene. This helped a little but also seems to
have widened the marks.

Surely they can't be this easy to stain?

Ideas?

DRY Microfibre cloth works for stainless splashback here.

Sorry if you explained it before, but has it burned on somehow?

My cooker hood came with one sample oil-impregnated cleaning cloth

At that price I didn't buy any more ...

We use Johnsons baby oil on our SS cooker. Forget where the idea came
from but it give a nice even finish with no fingerprints.

They flippin are I had to move ours and wrapped in newspaper to protect
it then of course it was awkward to position while attaching nuts &
bolts to secure it.
So got a couple of marks where the tape was and a few fingerprints, it
doesnt come off with hot soapy water.

I will try the baby oil

I used to have to use it to clean and polish the automatic ticket
barriers at the railway station. They get awfully mucky and there's a
lot of them.

The problem with abrasives is that they remove printed lettering on
yer SS finish.

even better. Printed lettering on SS looks naff. It should be etched
or engraved.

We use Barkeeper's Friend on our stainless splashback, before
finishing off with a microfibre cloth.
Looks better if you 'lay off' as if you were painting.

Yes, it does.

But surely the Other Answer is also appropriate: WD40...

Windolene is mostly fine chalk. If there's any texture or grain for it
to penetrate, it will. Great on glass but I've seen it leave a fine
deposit on other surfaces.
The trade uses tomato ketchup to clean s/s but that's mainly where hard
water is a problem.

[Wesley]

Right. I'm off to Boots for some baby oil :-)

I also see no point in those worktops where you can't tell if it needs
cleaning or not. I'm sorry I ever got conned into getting rid of the
pale coloured one that showed every mark. Women just have to replace
everything it seems.

It'll look good at first but will accumulate grime

I still have lots of marks on mine from installation.
Fingerprints are grease, so washing up liquid should do it. Or white spirit.
Not tried it but by all reports baby oil works - I don't really like the idea of them squeezing babies though.

What he said.

Bought a big American style side-by-side fridge/freezer some years ago
with stainless steel doors. Big mistake. But agreed that baby oil
works.

Yep. We use soapy water followed by a microfibre cloth, and then finish off
with the baby oil on all our stainless steel splash-backs and extraction
hooding in our burger joint. However, I have to say that when I installed a
'stainless' chimney-style extractor in my kitchen at home, like the OP, I
struggled to remove the fingerprints from the work.

FWIW I had a Siemens SS dishwasher that had a 'no fingerprint' boast on
the marketing blurb - and it worked.

We've had a biggish stainless-steel-doored fridge-freezer for 12 years
now. Yes it shows finger marks but a quick wipe over with a microfibre
cloth soon sorts it. I'd happily have another. Unless stainless steel
doors are not all the same? Ours have a distinctly brushed look,
definitely not a mirror finish.

There are umpteen grades - perhaps variants would be a better term -
of so-called stainless steel.

[The Medway Handyman]

Baby oil isn't terribly abrasive :-)

Presumably they must do, I've never seen anyone whining about
stainless steel sinks being a problem with fingermarks and have
never even noticed any problem with my sinks in that regard.

I use Betterware ss cleaner. No marks left after wiping dry with kitchen
paper.
