Smudge proof stainless steel vs stainless steel

Creating a kitchen that’s attractive but easy to keep clean is a goal for most homeowners but it’s especially hard for parents of young children. Kids seem to find away to get fingerprints on every appliance you own.

A textured finish refrigerator is certainly a start but if it’s time to replace your appliances, you may want to consider stainless steel. These usually have a higher price tag, but many homeowners prefer the look and low maintenance of stainless steel.

But to really battle fingerprints, make sure the stainless steel includes a mixture of nickel. Unlike ordinary stainless steel this composite material is virtually smudge-proof. While dirt and grime can accumulate on the surface they can easily be removed with a damp cloth. Then, at least once every other week, spray on a stainless steel cleaner to bring out the luster of the finish.

Is smudge proof stainless steel good?

The benefits of a fingerprint-resistant stainless steel appliance are obvious. The finish is not only easier to keep clean, it is a tough protective layer on top of the stainless steel, so it is likely to stay looking great for longer.

Do stainless steel and fingerprint resistant stainless steel look different?

The color and tone of our Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel has very good color harmony with other products. The finish does have a more rich satin finish than traditional stainless, so it is slightly less reflective. In kitchen suite appearance reviews, this has been accepted broadly.

Does smudge proof stainless steel scratch?

Even smudge-proof stainless steel can easily get scratches on it. In that case, the remedy is easy. All you need to do is to get some good car wax and use a small amount of it. For moderate to heavy surface scratches, use the Chemical Guys Scratch Remover.
