  1. Fill a small bowl or bucket with warm water. Wet a microfiber cloth in the water and place a nickel-sized dollop of liquid dish detergent on the cloth.

  2. Rub the detergent all over the polished chrome. Let the detergent soak on any difficult dirt spots for a few minutes.

  3. Rinse off the polished chrome with a clean, damp cloth. Make sure to get all the detergent residue off.

  4. Pour some white vinegar directly onto a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Rub it over the entire surface of the chrome. Rinse with clean water.

  5. Rub the polished chrome with a dry microfiber polishing cloth. This keeps water spots from forming and will make the chrome shine.
