Pledge (in the yellow can!) to clean stainless steel appliances.

I am working to consolidate cleaning supplies. Some good ideas here.

(will look up pumie that someone mentioned a page ago)

Yup. For clogged drains. I hate using it, but every now and then....

You mean I can stop buying Weiman Stainless Steel Cleaner?! That's the kind of consolidating I'm hoping to achieve!

you could try CLR (probably what I would use) or Lime-away. With either product squirt some in, let it set a while (an hour or so) scrub with a brush and flush.
