In those lovely little 16 ounce spray bottles from the dollar store, combine 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar. Spray and wipe the solution over your appliances, and wipe with a microfiber towel. Label the spray bottle so you are more inclined to refill it when necessary!
Once you spray and wipe down your appliances, follow it up with a misto-style container of olive oil or mineral oil. This is the kind that we have and it has never ever clogged! We have one for olive oil and one for grapeseed oil and couldn't be happier (after all, PAM has awful stuff in it...and who wants to eat awful stuff!). Now, use that same rag and rub in the olive oil.
I know it sounds strange to put oil on something you have just cleaned to get rid of oil and dirt, but this does work! Using a detergent can cause spots, and if it is abrasive it can scratch! And, if you are using 409 or something similar for your stainless steel appliances, those have a lot of chemicals on them....so why on earth would you want to use them near/on your food prep area!?!?!
Using oil on stainless steel will not only help remove any spots and marks you may find, it can also help hide scratches. Oil will eventually leave a sticky coating on stainless steel or any thing else that's non-porous and it will go rancid after a year, so the first wipe down with the vinegar mix is quite useful.
