Olive oil, says Reena is a great inexpensive stainless steel cleaner.

Just put some onto a cloth and wipe your stainless steel along the grain and then take off all the excess. And the reason why you want to use olive oil is because it's one type of oil that doesn't actually attract more dirt and dust. So it seeps into the metal and then it's gone and it doesn't leave an oily feeling. In the same way, you would use olive oil to polish your furniture. Wipe it onto the furniture and then wipe off all of the excess and it works really, really well.
