Household Cleaning & Polishing How-To Guides
Choosing the Right Flitz Household Cleaning & Polishing Products
Stainless steel appliances often need both cleaning and protection to keep their finish looking its best.
Fingerprints, grease, water spots, and everyday kitchen residue can make refrigerators, dishwashers, ranges, sinks, and other stainless steel surfaces look dull or streaky.
Start with Flitz Stainless Steel & Chrome Cleaner when you need to remove grease, fingerprints, smudges, and surface grime from compatible stainless steel, chrome, and aluminum surfaces.
After the surface is clean, Flitz Stainless Steel Polish & Protectant can be used on compatible stainless steel, chrome, and aluminum surfaces to polish and protect the finish.
For a more complete appliance-care setup, the Flitz Stainless Steel Appliance Kit combines products for cleaning, polishing, and protecting stainless steel appliances.
Tip: Always follow the individual product directions and work with the grain of brushed stainless steel when appropriate.
Faucets and fixtures deal with fingerprints, soap residue, water spots, and mineral buildup every day.
The first step is identifying the finish and deciding whether the surface needs cleaning, polishing, or protection.
Once a compatible fixture is clean, Flitz Faucet Wax Plus can be used to polish and protect many common kitchen and bathroom fixture finishes.
Faucet Wax Plus can be useful on compatible stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze, nickel, and other fixture finishes. Always confirm the material and finish before applying any polish or wax.
If a faucet or sink has heavy mineral buildup, address the buildup with the appropriate cleaner first. Polish or protection should come after the surface has been properly cleaned.
Countertop care starts with knowing what material and finish you're working with.
Granite, quartz, marble, glass, ceramic tile, and other countertop materials can have different maintenance requirements, so the right product depends on the surface.
Flitz Granite & Glass Protectant is designed for compatible countertop and household surfaces including granite, quartz, marble, glass, ceramic tile, and other approved materials.
People often search for terms such as granite sealer and countertop polish, but those terms do not always describe the same type of product. A protectant or sealer is used differently from a polish, so choose the product based on the material and the job you need to accomplish.
Always follow the label directions before treating a countertop. Flitz Granite & Glass Protectant should not be used on floors.
Jewelry cleaning and jewelry polishing are related, but they are not always the same step.
For removing oils, soap residue, lotion, makeup, and everyday buildup from suitable jewelry, use Flitz Diamond & Gemstone Cleaner .
For tarnished or dull compatible precious metals, Flitz Precious Metals Polishing Crème is designed to polish gold, silver, platinum, and other approved precious-metal surfaces.
If you want cleaning and polishing products together, the Flitz Jewelry Care Kit combines products and accessories for at-home jewelry care.
Always check product directions before treating plated jewelry, costume jewelry, pearls, soft stones, or unfamiliar finishes.
Start by identifying the surface and what you want the product to do.
- Cleaner: Choose a cleaner when the goal is to remove grease, fingerprints, residue, mineral buildup, or everyday grime.
- Polish: Choose a polish when a compatible surface has lost its shine or needs appearance restoration.
- Protectant: Choose a protectant after cleaning or polishing when the surface can benefit from an added protective finish.
- Kit: Choose a Flitz kit when you want several products and accessories together for a specific job such as stainless steel appliance care or jewelry care.
Household materials and finishes vary widely, so always identify the surface before applying any cleaner, polish, wax, or protectant.
From stainless steel appliances and faucets to jewelry and countertops, the Flitz Household collection gives you different options for cleaning, polishing, and protection jobs around the home.
