Call the consumer information phone number on the stainless steel cleaner package. It sounds like something is wrong with the product, or with your house keepers application of the product. For a painted fridge; try the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. My neighbor's boyfriend suggested it for a scuff on my car paint (white specialty finish with a big black mark) and it worked great. You would never even know there was ever a problem. I dampened it a bit and pressed super lightly. For a stainless steel fridge; try a plain, soft, damp cloth. If that doesn't work try regular furniture polish (like Pledge) with the same, soft, cloth. I would recommend trying a small, indiscreet spot for any of these suggestions before doing the entire thing. Just in case there is some adverse reaction to the product she used. Good Luck!

    Or she may hve just left a residue try buffing it with a clean soft cloth like you would car wax.

Outside cleaner for Kenmore Elite Bottom Freezer Model 795-71033-010 S/N MRCJ01195

Any good quality kitchen cleaner can be used to clean the outside, but don't use the ones with bleach or those that are an abrasive like Comet because they can cause rust spotting. Then after rinsing, and drying you can treat the stainless steel with stainless steel cleaner, or even Baby Oil.

How do I clean the surface of my stainless steel refrigerator

Depends on what you're trying to clean off of the fridge. My husband uses carb cleaner to clean the inside of a dryer. Should work on the stainless steel as well. Spray it onto a microfiber cloth and try to clean it that way. I would also use some polish when finished. Hope this helps!!
