To clean your stainless steel vent hood:

 

  • Do a preliminary clean of your appliance with vinegar: Spray your appliance liberally with vinegar and use a soft cotton or microfiber cloth to wipe the vinegar off.
  • Rub in the direction of the grain. Wiping across the striations can cause scratches to appear.
  • Similarly using certain types of paper towels can scratch the finish. A cotton or microfiber cloth is recommended.
