Oh my, can't believe you are nearing 80. You look many years younger and wow, the energy. Thank yall for being here, for us.
She’s so funny, those of us who watch her very often know she just turned 79 in August. She’s joking.
Yes, Pam looks younger than 79, going on 80. She is a real cougar. I will be 77 the end of this December. Jim
😂You two are great together!💞
@@RoseRedHomesteadSo, Pam is a cradle-robber! (I like "cougar"better, too), 😅
Love the 🌹🌹🌹, Jim. You are always so thoughtful. Y'all are lucky to have each other.
I have to agree, she doesn't look 80 and yes, I would love to have her energy now!
lol she said Grody, haven’t heard that word in years…love it!
LOL!
What a sweet lady. Thank you!
I’m glad you are addressing this topic!
Safety tip. When doing my stainless steel appliances at the bottom. I recommend (well at least I do) depending on the kind of polish used in a spray can. I place a large bath towel underneath spread out. Cause when you spray at the bottom you may get over spray on your floor. Which if you forget to clean it up you or a family member could slip and fall if walking in that area. This happen to me but I caught my fall just in time. Just a reminder for elderly people or those who don’t want the over spay on wooden floors or title. Also thanks for the recommendation have a bless day
We agree! Safety! Safety! Safety! Jim
Thank you for sharing this tip. I will be following this recommendation.
@@melba1734 you're welcome
That company ought to send you a case of that, I would imagine the sales are going to go up! Love it! I agree that you certainly don’t look or act like your almost 80! ❤
We do not accept sponsorships. Pam turned 79 two months ago and will be 77 shortly after Christmas. Jim
My contractor husband will be delighted to hear that you have offered the same advice that he gave to me in regards to my kitchen stainless. He often remodels kitchens, installing new appliances and always suggests Weiman products to his clients.
I used Weiman it is really good and perfect
I lobed the spray Weiman
I love your back splash and whole kitchen spotless
I agree. Her energy is unreal!
Great Morning to all
I use lemon Pledge. A lady in the appliance department at Lowes told me about it years ago. And it works like a charm. Plus, it smells lemony fresh🤣
Works to shine up a motorcycle chrome too, along with windshield.
You are a good teacher. Thank you for taking the time.
You are very welcome!
I have a small rolling stool that is wonderful for getting down low enough to clean or get stuff out of the bottom shelves of fridge. I am 75 and couldn't live without it! Just bought a house with SS appliances so thanks so much for this video!
Sounds great! Please be safe, Jim
Get idea for low work,I'm 78 an on my 3rd crushed lumbar Vertebrae. It has changed everything I do. I am being gifted a house helper by my son soon, but I miss doing my own work.
@@Rosemary-up1ql Sure isn't fun when bodies start falling apart Glad you are getting help. 😊
I've used those Weiman wipes and they do work great. I didn't realize they also had a spray. Thanks for sharing that.
Just be careful with the Weiman spray….I put a junk towel down on the floor below the appliance I am cleaning because that spray flies everywhere and if it gets on my tile floor, it is very slippery, causing me to then have to mop the area. Putting a towel helps. Alternatively you can spray it on your cloth and then wipe.
Thank you, so glad I was not the only one admiring your fridge. Now I know what to do.😊
I am considering going back to white appliances as my stainless ages out. My stainless is always spotted, greasy, just plan gunked up. I am constantly wiping it down. That said I was in Home Depot this morning,have you seen the newest glass paneled appliances? They made my heart skip a beat. So pretty. And they comes in colors.
A little bit of dawn dish soap on microfiber cloth, then wipe with clean microfiber cloth. Works great.
My stainless steel hand printer is "my husband"! 😂
Mine too…🤷♀️
Too funny.. My daughter surprised me and bought me a new stainless steel fridge. I love it, but my grandchildren left their little prints all over it 😂 No joke.. I was looking at the fridge and thinking how can I clean this? All of a sudden, your video popped up in my feed! 😄 Thank you for the advice 🌻
This very short clip was so refreshing and it solved the problem perfectly. Thank you for a quick video and to the point information.
The Weiman wipes are what I have used for quite awhile, along with a microfiber cloth. They do a great job and are convenient. Thanks for another useful and informative video.
Such a Blessing !!!❤
Thank you.
I love microfiber towels! They are the best thing for cleaning windows too. I just have a bucket of warm water, use a microfiber cloth to wash the window, squeegee the window and then dry with a dry microfiber cloth. The squeegee cuts down on the number of dry towels I need. This makes for a streak free window and is fast and easy to do.
When we bought our home 30 years ago it came with a nice large stainless steel sink in the kitchen. It still looks new because I clean it with Bar Keepers Friend about once a month. Super easy and takes off any and all stains. After rinsing well I dry it with paper towels.
I tried that and it left my fridge streaky. Did you use the liquid or spray?
I have only seen it as a powder in a can. I don't think I would use it on appliances but it is amazing on sinks, pots and pans.
❤ I bought a set of very good stainless steel cookware years ago when it was being demonstrated at the San Diego Fair. Kitchen Craft, made in the USA, by the way! They demonstrated how to make a “paste” from Bar Keeper’s Friend (which does NOT scratch)and a little water. Works like a charm, but it must be rinsed carefully to remove the powder residue. Cleans up my stainless steel double s easily and makes them glisten. I never knew that stainless steel had a grain, so I will remember that when cleaning my cookware and sinks. Thanks for another well-produced video, jam packed with great information. ❤
I use an O-Cello sponge and a little Dawn dishwashing soap. Then dry with the kitchen towel.
I have serious allergies to most commercial cleaning products so I love the vinegar solution! It works great on my stainless steel appliances. Thank you! ♥️
Vinegar an soda baking soda,great as a once a week facial exfoliate. Cheap, yep, I use a great moisturizer. But try the soda you'll love it.
Now that's funny, Pam. I so enjoy your demos.
OLD ENGLISH LEMON OIL (That's a restaurant hack). 💖💖👍👍💖💖
On stainless steel? Isn't it greasy?
I'm going to try that. Thanks.
I bought the French door LG refrigerator too! Hubby and I went to a local appliance store and I looked around and when I felt the smooth less fingerprint surface I was sold! We also bought a stove, microwave and toaster oven. They are all stainless steel and trimmed in black. I then chose a very quiet Bosch dishwasher with a black door trimmed with stainless steel because I stand in front of it to prepare my food. It is much easier to keep clean than stainless steel. My fridge has a narrow recessed black line between the two upper French doors and the bottom freezer. The oven and microwave glass is black glass and trimmed with stainless steel so they all look beautiful together! I clean my appliances the same way you do. ❤watching you and I have learned so much over the years. 👩🏼💻
Thanks for your comment. Your appliances sound beautiful!
Love Weiman stainless steel cleaner!❤❤❤
Me too!
Guess I’m old school I don’t particularly care for Stainless appliances….I have a Stainless refrigerator because it was here when we bought the house…I hate to say it but I can’t wait until it dies 😂😂😂…. I’ll take white over any finish any day. 😊…will give these tips a try…thank you.
I like white as well. Also black! So nice to have options.
Hi RoseRed, Thank U 4 showing me how 2 clean Stainless steel. I also Love ur Hair style and Color on U! ❤
And of course with the kettle also. That's been using a lot in my house
.😊
I like Pledge. It the same thing as stainless steel cleaner/polish, but it smells like lemons. 🍋 🥰
You really are such a sweetheart how you share all your Tips. Those products you mentioned are the same I use and have very had very good results with them also.
Just be sure to wear gloves and protect your hands from the chemicals in them.
Yes, I agree about the gloves. Jim
Very helpful video, thanks Pam and Jim!
You are so welcome! Jim
Pushing 80? My goodness, I never, ever would have guessed that! You look beautiful and your hair color is so becoming on you. First time viewer here, thanks for the tip.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind comments.
You are so kind to have shown this! Now I am curious as to how you keep those beautifully detailed cabinets spotless!
I use a product called Orange GLO on the cabinets. Very easy to use.
@@RoseRedHomesteadYour kitchen is sparkling! You are right again! I've always used Orange Glow on my non-painted wood cabinets. The orange smell is absolutely heavenly and the wood always stays looking amazing. It gives cabinets a nice luster and the moisture that they desperately need. When I went to sell my home after 23 years, every single realtor that came through asked if the cabinets were new. Nope. Just cared for with Orange Glow. I use it on all non-painted wood furniture and also found that it literally melts away soap scum from tile shower walls and glass shower doors. It's a great product. I always have a bottle or two on hand. You're a delight to watch.
I started laughing when Pam was trying to smudge the fridge. I understand why but it was so funny. By the way, I saw you on your knees Pam, goodness me you who is pushing 80 🫸 tee hee hee... God love you ❤
Yes, it was kind of funny, but there was truly a point to it. Jim
Wow, your cabinets are stunningly beautiful! Thank you for your help with keeping the stainless looking good. I just got a new range and it very easily gets smears.
Awesome! Thank you!
Just on a side-note; I don’t know what you’re doing but, whatever you doing, keep doing it because you look fabulous ma’am! You don’t even look like you’re even close to the 80 mark.
I love the disclaimer ❤
You’re pushing 80?! You just retired. I thought you were mid 60’s.
We used the commercial version of the stainless cleaner and polish spray in the commercial kitchen in which I worked. It was a trusted best friend.
The Sears repairman told me they use Pledge in the stores every morning to clean their stainless.
Yes, I do the same. It works great
Try Spray away glass cleaner ~ Makes my 10 year old Samsung looks like new. Started using this after my favorite Rock-it oil was discontinued. Spray away Never looks greasy or smudged and doesn’t have ammonia that will break down the protective coating. Best part Is you don’t have to use it on the entire fridge for quick 1-2 min spruce up on the handle area / below water dispenser unlike the oil based products which require entire fridge done. 😊 Love your channel!
Sprayway is the absolute best, love it!
I haven’t heard of that. Is it in most stores?
@@m_emett Yes ~ We have it at our Costco but is also at Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Amazon etc
Weiman stainless steel cleaner. Easy. Also, most newer fridges are not actually stainless steel (not magnetic).
It's a thin coating, so you have to be super careful not to scratch it off, or you can get rust. My husband loves going through the appliance section with a magnet 😅
I have the same refrigerator as pam. The doors aren’t magnetic but the sides are. That’s where my magnets are
I always loved Stainless Steel have been using vinegar for years on them, especially my pots. Thanks for sharing your tips!
God Bless you. You look absolutely Amazing.
Thanks for the product recommendations! One word of caution, if I may. Please do not ever get vinegar, or anything else acidic (lemon juice, pickle juice, etc), on your granite. It will etch.
Thanks for the tip! Jim
Yes, thank you so much. Just bought a house with stainless steel appliances and was going to clean with the vinegar water. I will be very careful now around the granite. 😊
@@bethbenson1931 I forgot to mention ammonia. No ammonia around granite. I have banned windex from my kitchen! 😁
Wow, thanks again! Looks like Windex won't be in my kitchen either. Appreciate it!
Pam, are you sure you aren't pushing 50? You do more in Micro Monday than most 20 year olds do in an entire week! (I have the house to prove it! ) i'm not buying the 80 thing!
😂
😂😂😂
LOL! dOb = 1944!
Just a number! @@RoseRedHomestead😉
I couldn’t agree more!
THAM YOU, I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS, SO INFORMATIVE. I LOVE THE DETAIL WORK ON YOUR CABINET DOORS
👋😆Hi RoseRed Homestead, Those products and vinegar with water sure did the job.🙅WOO-HOO! Thank you for sharing.👉 I just subcribed to your u-tube channel.👏👍👏 🙋How'd from Texas.😎 (✌)
T0 successfully put finger prints on stainless steel your fingers need to be sticky with jam or soda. Yours look clean 😊.
Thanks for the tip! Jim
I clean for a living and I have found that stainless steel products leave a film on fridges that cause them to have more fingerprints and creates a vicious circle which eventually causes them to not look clean because of the buildup. I use a Mr. Clean magic eraser or the no name ones to remove the build up and soap and water with a microfiber cloth for regular cleaning after that. Sometimes I have to use the eraser to get off stubborn fingerprints or marks.
Thank you!
Pushing 80? Girl, I hope I can be like you at even 70. I feel like when I turned 60…. Everything started to hurt. My father-in-law, who has been active his whole life, said it “chaps him how everything hurts after 60”. He’s 85 and swims every morning at 5:30am.
Anyway thank you for your continuing tips on how to keep our houses fresh and clean and all the cooking, storage videos. 🌹🌹🌹
All it takes is money and a lot of plastic surgery.
I sure do appreciate that disclaimer
We talked to Lowes, it was recommended to use Windex. I guess that is similar to the water/vinegar. Thank you for the information. I am glad to hear about the other products. Great information
Thanks for the info! Jim
I’ve discovered about 1 quarter size drop of olive oil on a dry paper towel gets my stainless steel sick and refrigerator clean and shiny! We have hard water and get hard water spots on the sink if water sits and the olive oil even gets those spots off! Be sure the surface is dry before wiping with olive oil. If it’s wet it smudges.
I also shine up and clean the exterior of my all American canner and presto canner with a tiny dab of olive oil on a dry paper towel and rub in a circular motion. It gets them so shiny.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing.
I agree with Weyman products! Also there are covers for the handles you can buy (or make) with Velcro closures, which are washable! There is also cleaners for polishing glass cooktops (walmart)
I had not thought of covers for the handles or polish for glass cooktops. Thanks! Jim
I use the Weiman's products. Discovering them helped me enjoy stainless appliances a bit more.
Hi Pam! Love the pull out exhaust fan/light for your cook top. Would you mind sharing the brand/manufacturer or store from which you purchased the fan?
Many many thanks! Renee
Yes that is awesome I'd also like to know this 😊
Pam, I found cleaning my fridge with lemon oil works fantastic for me. I’ve got grandkids so tons of fingerprints each visit. I don’t know how they do it. I’ll have to check out those wipes. Thanks!
Thank you Ma’am
I love the weiman spray
Every piece of stainless I have looks horrible, lol.
I'll have to try this. 😊
Go for it! Jim

Ammonia is the BEST for cutting grease and oil and making your stainless steel shine with little effort. You can also use it to make your stainless flatware shine like new. It also cleans and makes your jewelry sparkle like new even the most tarnished costume jewelry will sparkle like new.
Ammonia is corrosive to stainless steel. Sure it cuts the grease, but I would never recommend it or even products containing it.
I have found Pledge does well on cleaning my stainless if I run out of Weiman.
I totally agree with you with using pledge. Been using it for years. A woman silversmith told me that she uses and recommends using pledge all stainless steel.
Thanks for the awesome tips! 😍 I thumbs up bc you said you’re pushing 80! Way to go, you look great!😍
Thanks so much!!
This was great, thank you!
OMG! I haven't heard grody in a decade. Thanks for the videos
I was thinking the same…love it!
I love the Weiman products also!
I love your cabinets.
I had a bakery and everything in the kitchen was stainless steel. I just use warm water in a mop bucket with a bleach cap of bleach and a microfiber cloth, it doesn't even smell like bleach, but it raises the PH in the water. I wash windows, all my stainless steel, bathroom mirror, and the best thing is my car windows. No rinsing just ring your rag out well.
Thanks for sharing! That sounds great.
Stainless isn't my cup of tea, but thanks for the info. You never know when it will come in handy.
I use to use a small amount of baby oil and buff it in
Interesting, Jim
I'll have to try the wipes and the vinegar. I've used soap and, you're right it takes a long time to wash off and dry. However, one day I had an idea, and I thought, how about alcohol? I washed my refrigerator with a rag with the alcohol and then dried it with a rag and it came out disinfected and shiny.
Baby oil works great too!!!
Windex and a magic eraser sponge. Dry with a soft cloth.
You need a small chair to sit on when cleaning you dishwasher. Would come in handy for the freezer part of your fridge too . Thanks dear .
I swear by Microfiber cloths, Zep Stainless Steel Polish for a heavy duty clean, Weinman Wipes for quick clean ups. If you have any marks or rust going on…..Bar Keeper’s Friend is your friend. 😊
Thanks for all the good info!
Thank you 👍❤️👍
I use vinegar to clean than I use vegetable cooking spray little and clean it. That is best way because you will not see any finger print. You use it once and you will love it.
Thanks for sharing!! Jim
Thought I'd share... I too have an LG fridge. Mine I learned when I went to clean it, has a silver colored plastic door! I was so surprised to learn this! No magnets on my fridge!
None of the 3 brands LG, Samsung, and Whirlpool) that I have owned (French door) have had magnetized doors, just the sides. Not sure why.
Loved seeing you try to put fingerprints on the fridge....😅
What a great video never seen your channel before enjoyed it your kitchen is beautiful ❤❤❤ from Julie from Wrexham
Thanks for finding our channel. JIm
Thank you for this information. In an earlier video you mentioned your watch please what brand? I’m researching them
been using hydrogen peroxide sprayed on a microfiber on my stainless for years- but for my stove hood (which is very large and stainless and gets greasy- the best I found was from dollar tree - L A totally awesome is the brand- its concentrate and cleans and shines it at 1.25 it is amazing
I use the Weiman wipes too and like them! Haven't tried the spray. Yes, my dishwasher is the worst, too.
It is a constant battle!
Wow thats awesome, thanks for sharing I am now a new subscriber!❤❤❤
Thanks for this video the finger prints on my refrigerator drive me crazy 🤣
I find that the Weiman product are oily. This helps shine up the stainless steel beautifully. BUT… I have cats. They are trained not to enter the kitchen, ever! I noticed the cat hair on the bottom oven door. I know they cats weren’t near it. Then I realized it from my clothes. There is a greasiness to the product that grabs the cat hair when I stand at the stove, cooking. So I stopped using it. I use a small bucket of warm water with a little Dawn and a microfiber cloth. Wash then dry with a clean dry microfiber cloth. No more cat hair. I love the look of stainless in the kitchen but it’s a lot of work. I might try the vinegar idea but I worry that the acid will dull the shine over time. Thanks for the tips!
I have a fridge just like yours I absolutely love it. My salesman suggested using denatured alcohol. Have you ever heard of that?
It’s behind the counter at drugstores.
That’s what my husband uses to clean some of his RC Car parts. It smells almost toxic. Like gasoline practically. I wouldn’t use it in my house if I were you. Now I will say that I use 91% Isopropyl Alcohol on my Microwave front to get it sparkling clean. Works great.
Why would she find anything else when this obviously works brilliantly
I use sanitizer tissue and it works great.@@annewollstein3511
great information, thanks! 😊
New to your channel - I love it! Thanks so much for this. Also - perhaps you have covered this is another video, but can you tell me a little about your awesome cabinet doors? Are they custom? I love them!
❤you are a sweetheart ❤ just subscribed to your channel. ❤
Great job! Thank you very much! WD40 works for me.
Little oil is great if it’s stainless steel I have a dcs stove and a Viking hood with heat lamp
I clean mine with very hot, mild soapy rag- then polish with olive oil OR weimans… but I prefer olive oil. Either one is great, and resists fingers.
Thank you :)
WD 40, soft cloth, go with the grain, works just fine. Been doing it for years.
Good to know.
