Q : How can I best clean the mirrored stainless steel finish of the kettle body?

A: Use a microfiber cloth: Microfiber cloths are gentle on the surface of stainless steel and are great for removing dust, fingerprints, and smudges. They also leave behind a streak-free finish. Use a mild detergent: Mix a small amount of mild detergent, such as dish soap, with warm water. Dip your microfiber cloth in the solution and wring it out well. Gently wipe down the stainless steel surface. Dry thoroughly: Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to dry the stainless steel surface. Make sure to remove any remaining water spots or streaks, as they can leave marks on the surface. Note : Avoid harsh chemicals: Harsh chemicals such as bleach or ammonia can damage the surface of stainless steel. Avoid using them and opt for mild, pH-neutral cleaning products.
