stainless steel appliances. I don't mind cleaning them, everyday if I have to, but they never come out looking as nice as I would like. Any ideas people? Would appreciate any suggestions. I have tried just about everything.

I have black quartz counter tops. If I could change them I would. Mine have flecks of other colors in them but are still very dark. The up side is they don't always show the dirt and the down side is they don't always show the dirt. I wash them down, then someone runs their hands over them and finds a sticky spot that you can't see. Usually a guest of course. Pretty when they shine but otherwise a huge PIA.

I had black granite with splotches of butterscotch - absolutely LOVED them! Yes, it showed wipe marks, but I found using a microfiber cloth as dishcloth took care of that. The black was just so elegant. I also felt, since I could see the crumbs and splatters and took are of them, that my counters were clean. I now have a Quartz countertop, beige/gray/black/copper specks, so pretty but hard to see the dirt! And it shows wipe marks too - that doesn't go away. So all in all, it's the same amount of work. The black was gorgeous!

I only have formica and I love it. My microwave id black. I wash it off once a week and always dry with a towel. I always dry everything off with a towel after it is washed.
My fridge and stove is off white, bone or whatever. I love them.
I would not want black countertops. Showing dust would drive me bonkers.
