Something that is reasonably powerful, kills germs, is streak free on glass/black, and won't do any damage over time.
Liz and I have been using Windex with some vinegar in it, but just the fact that we are using *Windex* leaves me uneasy...Detailing has given it such a bad name  . I was thinking of a vinegar mix or maybe IPA cut 50/50 with water.
Any and all feedback is welcomed  .

We try to polish everything about once every two months, but are just looking for a daily cleaner.
Thanks .

Join Date: Mar 2001 Location: boston Posts: 3,312 | I use one of the windex products in our kitchen where we have similar surfaces.
I guess I'd suggest Bartender's Friend for the sink. SprayWay makes a killer product for SS but it's not intended for the sink.
When I am in the mood, I'll use a specialty plastic polish/spray on the hi-gloss black plastic panels (microwave, oven, dishwasher control panel, etc.). Honestly, Sean, I can't think of a single product that would do all. I hate to say it but Windex is a very good catch-all due to its sanitizing quality, IMO. Ohh, I've got some good stuff for the marble floors...can't recall the name. You need to be cautious with marble. | |

Clean and disinfected are different things.
