A repairman recommended using WD-40 on kitchen applicances made with stainless steel. Anyone ever heard of this? He swears by it, but I can’t get myself to try it fearing permanent damage.

    The dry cloth wipe with dry cloth then apply the stainless as for the dry stainless this is not cleaner it stay away from abrasive cleaners and steel if you.
    For the wd40 to the dry stainless this is type of water wont hurt it doesnt work so well use green scrub pad first wipe with dry cloth wipe with damp cloth then apply the stainless this is polisher you would notice.

    For normal kitchen messes its nonabrasive so choose soft cloth not paper towels to clean polished stainless steel also has many other nifty uses.

    WD-40 wont damage your stainless steel. It is just a light oil with some detergents. The only problem I see with using it is it will attract dust.
