Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (7426) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Household Supplies > Household Cleaning Supplies > Household Cleaning Products > Stainless Steel Cleaners & Polishes"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |

| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 7426 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Home & Garden > Household Supplies > Household Cleaning Supplies > Household Cleaning Products > Stainless Steel Cleaners & Polishes |
This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 7426, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Stainless Steel Cleaners & Polishes
What is the Google product category ID for Stainless Steel Cleaners & Polishes?
7426. The full path, "Home & Garden > Household Supplies > Household Cleaning Supplies > Household Cleaning Products > Stainless Steel Cleaners & Polishes", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Is anything more specific than Stainless Steel Cleaners & Polishes available?
No. Stainless Steel Cleaners & Polishes is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 5, so 7426 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.
Where does Stainless Steel Cleaners & Polishes sit in the taxonomy?
At level 5, under Household Cleaning Products (4973). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Household Supplies → Household Cleaning Supplies → Household Cleaning Products → Stainless Steel Cleaners & Polishes.
