My Smudge-Proof Kitchen Test #testdrivemoms

frigidaireWhen my husband and I bought this house ten years ago, we decided on stainless steel appliances. We liked how they looked, we wanted them all to match, and we found some great bargains. At the time we had a tween, a toddler and a new baby but for some reason I wasn’t thinking about finger prints on my new appliances. I was just thinking about how nice my stainless steel appliances would look together in our new kitchen. They did look nice, but it took about a day for them to be covered in finger prints and smudges. It’s the downfall to having stainless steel, unless of course you have the Frigidaire Smudge-Proof Stainless Steel appliances. I upgraded our range last year and I love that it doesn’t ever show a finger print.

Frigidaire® uses high-grade stainless steel coated with layers of polymers, resulting in a sleek, beautiful stainless steel finish that is both durable and resistant to fingerprints. As a result, homeowners can have the look of stainless steel without the traditional maintenance typically experienced with standard stainless steel.

When I was asked to demonstrate that my Frigidaire range is smudge proof by smearing mustard on it, I wasn’t very impressed. I know it’s smudge proof. I have four children and it has no finger prints on it, which is proof enough for me, but I supposed that my readers may need to see if for themselves. So here it is… the first picture shows the range before I rubbed mustard on it, the second shows the mess and the third shows the range after I wiped the mustard away with a wet paper towel.

Do you want to see it in action? I did it again and grabbed a video. Turn down your volume. I was too close to the speaker!

Smudge-Proof™ Stainless Steel is available on all Frigidaire Gallery® and Frigidaire Professional® products – see the collection here: http://www.frigidairekitchen.ca/en/smudge-proof/index.html

Would your appliances stand up to the mustard test? Give it a try and let me know the results!

    Ive never heard of this before. Really cool. My son loves to get his hands messy and make fingerprint pictures on the fridge… Then the dishwasher… Then the stove! No fun to clean!!

    We have this problem all the time but it’s more people not cleaning up their messes, I’ve been looking into stainless steel and this sounds wonderful!

    Our last fridge had that ‘patina’ finish (I think that’s what they call it here) that was smudge proof and didn’t show the prints, I loved it! In the house we just bought we needed a counter depth fridge though and none of them came with the smudge proof finish, so I’m constantly wiping down the fridge, ugh.

    We have a stainless steel stove and the smudging is constant and it is beyond a mistake on buying it!! This is something I would consider for sure!

    No my fridge has prints all the time. With us moving soon (hopefully) we want to replace the appliances with stainless steel as well and I love this idea A LOT!

    My stainless is brushed so they don’t show too bad, but still tough to upkeep

    Love that it is smudge-proof! That is what has stopped me from buying stainless steel appliances.

    I should have bought one of these when we were looking for a dishwasher, because ours most definitely is not smudge proof.

    Oh dear no! Our fridge is not chrome and it has a ton of textured grooves in it. If I did a mustard test, the mustard would still be in there weeks after trying to clean it out!

    That looks much better than ours…they are stainless steel with lots of smudges.

    All my appliances are so old. Not even stainless steel here, but when I do get new appliances… I want the smudge-proof!
