Right, I need to talk about something that made me wince harder than watching someone scratch their nails down a blackboard. Someone online shared photos of their stainless steel fridge after what can only be described as a cleaning catastrophe, and honestly, it’s given me flashbacks to my own household disasters over the years.

The poor soul had used a stainless steel sink cleaner on their fridge – nothing wrong with that in theory – but they’d gone at it with the rough side of a sponge, scrubbing against the grain like they were trying to remove barnacles from a ship’s hull. The result? Their entire fridge door now looks like it’s been attacked by an angry cat with metal claws. Deep, swirling scratches everywhere, completely destroying that smooth brushed finish that probably cost them a pretty penny.
