Struggling with streaks and grime on your stainless steel trash can? It's frustrating, especially when guests visit.
I've tested this reliable method on my Brabantia bin and others for over two months, restoring a brilliant shine to any kitchen.
Grandma's secret: wipe with 70° alcohol on a cloth. Simple and effective. Here's how:

1. Grab a clean cloth.
2. Soak it in 70° alcohol.
3. Wipe down the trash can thoroughly.
4. Allow the alcohol to evaporate naturally.

Your stainless steel bin now gleams like new—no more grease, rust, or fingerprints!
Quick, effortless, and no rinsing required. Works on brushed, polished, raw, or shiny finishes, indoors or out, on metal or aluminum cans.
Bonus: It disinfects too. No 70° alcohol? White vinegar works similarly.

Stainless steel streaks are mostly grease and oils. 70° alcohol is a powerful degreaser that dissolves them instantly, removing smudges and fingerprints while disinfecting surfaces—perfect for trash cans.
As a cleaning enthusiast with years of home maintenance experience, I recommend this over harsh chemicals for safe, sparkling results.
