My new refrig is looking old, after just two years with water marks that commercial products don't do anything but buff and shine!
You can try using vinegar to get rid of the water stains. Pour some white vinegar in a spray bottle and spray the vinegar directly onto the areas with the water stains.
Let it sit for about a minute and then wipe away using a dry cloth. You may have to scrub a bit at some of the tougher stains.
You can also try using the juice from a lemon.
Lastly, you can try a mixture of water and baking soda. Use enough water to create a thick paste. Apply the paste to the water spots and let sit for approximately 10 minutes. Use a damp washcloth to wipe the paste away. Use a dry cloth to buff up the area.
I too was peeved about the ice and water dispenser leaving a big long drip down the door. I use Cerma Bryte stainless steel cleaner (has mineral oil) to polish and shine but it didn't do anything for the water drip. I tried vinegar, lemon juice and nothing. Finally, I got out my trusted friend Bon Ami. It said "no scratching" so I tried it with a damp sponge and VOILA, the water drip was no more and no scratching on my brushed stainless steel! I followed up with the cerma bryte to polish and shine.
OMG I have the same problem, I was just cleaning the front of my stainless steel fridge awhile ago, and once again bugged by it, where the ice and water come out at, it has left a permanent stain from the water leaking down the black plastic part, the tray is removeable, but what can we soak it in? I actually wondered if like "mean green" or "lime away" would work...I will be checking back here for answers. Good luck to us LOL
I would not put anything except for stainless steet products onto your fridge without cdalling the company who made the fridge. I run a cleaning business and we only ever use the stainless steel spray. It foams when it goes on and you polish it off. I will have a look around and see what info I can find for .Mel
I use to sell appliances. We always reccomended "stainless steel magic" tp our customers. It is available at lowes and walmart. It comes in a spray bottle. Follow the directions carefu;;y and it works great!
I think white vinegar is the answer. It breaks up the calcium in the water. Just not sure how you'd soak it in that if its a vertical surface.
