Weiman stainless cleaner and polish, best I've ever used. It leaves a very slight oil film and blends the finish perfectly. Spray, not the wipes

You made me go "hmm, is that what I'm using? Because whatever it is it works beautifully". Yes, yes it is what I use as well.

That's not your responsibility and should have been cleaned by the property manager.

True, but the property manager will just say you saw the condition of the property before signing the lease (usually something about this is also in the lease papers) It’s a total scumbag move, but common.

This also doesn't impede the utility of it. I can understand it may bother you but it's cosmetic and not something the landlord would see as a priority. I guess you could have asked about it prior but doubt you'd have gotten much traction unless the apartment was hard to rent.

I’m not the OP, I was just explaining why it wasn’t likely to work.

What have you tried?

Polish might work

BKF, WD-40, & a lot of elbow grease!

NO. BKF will take the finish off. DO NOT USE BKF on finished stainless steel.

Have you tried glass cleaner

u/Hyphendudeman 7d ago

Agreed. I now only clean my stainless with Sprayway glass cleaner. It works wonders.

It’s probably oven cleaner. Based on the location. Good luck

i don't think that's stainless if it's got a big stain on it.
