Kitchen appliances will stay shiny and streak-free if cleaned with £1 item

A simple tip circulating online claims to keep stainless-steel kitchen appliances looking clean and streak-free: baby oil as a polish. The article says Boots sells baby oil for £1.50 and that only a couple of drops are needed on a dry microfiber cloth, then buff gently across surfaces. A Facebook post by Roxanne Summers describes using 10 minutes or less to restore her stainless-steel fridge after fingerprints and grease had built up despite other attempts. The write-up warns not to substitute with oils like vegetable or olive oil, which can turn rancid and add more residue. It also explains that baby oil, largely mineral oil, fills tiny scuffs and helps repel water, making smudges easier to wipe away.
