Had some marks on front of dishwasher that looked like something spilled down the front. Used a cut half lemon dipped in baking powder and marks are gone. Plain lemon did not remove the marks. I also use a half lemon dipped in salt to clean calcium from toilet bowl. Thank you

I tried this solution to clean my stainless steel knife, and it left stains that look like spilled milk. Might just be my steel, or the fact that it sat in the solution a while but just as a warning. You may get these milk looking stains.
