Steve I have just purchased a new custom hot dog cart yesterday and I would like to know the best way to clean the stainless steel from finger print smudges that were left on the cart from the building of the cart. I have tried vineger and water and it does not work so well. Do you have any suggestions to clean in showroom conditions before i take it to the Health Dept? Thanks for your help.

My carts have all been wooden E-Z Builts but when I was 17 I was an assistant manager of a Burger King store. We cleaned all our stainless steel with a green scotch brite pad and seltzer water (club soda). Worked great.

Do not use scotch brite on aluminum unless you don’t mind the matte finish it will leave. Aluminum is a much softer metal than stainless steel and it scratches easily.

There are commercially made cleaners just for stainless that you could try too.

How about it slingers? What do you use to clean your stainless steel? Let us know in the comments.
