Steel wool is ok if you are certain that it is stainless steel wool.
Try using Scotch Brite and a restaurant grade stainless steel cleaner. This
cleaner is abrasive so be careful not to rub using a circular motion, but go
with the "grain" of the finish. Most of these cleaners also act as a sealer
so that fingerprints don't "stick" as easily.
A non-abrasive cleaner you might try is "CLR" ("C"alcium-"L"ime-"R"ust). It
is available in most stores that carry a comprehensive stock of household
cleaners. This is a highly corrosive cleaner so be sure to read the label
carefully. You should try diluting it first with an equal amount of hot
water. If that doesn't work try using it full strength taking appropriate
precautions to protect yourself and other surfaces such as anything painted
and upholstery. It is "guaranteed" to work.
Happy cleaning!
