How to Clean Appliance Paint

Appliance paint dries extra hard to cover and protect the metal surface of appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers and washing machines. Some appliance paint resists heat and moisture, making it ideal for stoves or outdoor appliances. When your painted appliances become dirty or stained, use mild products to prevent scratches or wear. Clean your appliances regularly to prevent dirt buildup and keep them looking their best.
