I use this for my oven racks. It's one of the best tips ever.

Love that lemon/water idea...Gonna have to try that.

But I also use Hot water/soap for the fridge.

I just ordered a steam cleaner last week, that should be here tomorrow. The frige is the first place I'm going to try it out! A friend has one and says it just melts gunk away on everything. After that fridge, shower is next!

This is for Honey and anyone else who would like to use it: "My Window Cleaner " Mix all the following in a large ( 1 gallon is good ) jar , I have a glass jar, ...1 pint rubbing alcohol, 1/2 cup household ammonia, 1 teas. dish liquid (Dawn is good ), enuf water to fill the jar. Add green or blue food coloring. The color is important so that no one thinks it is water. Put in a spray bottle and go to work on those windows. I use crumpled newspaper for mine. My father always said it was best. Should wear rubber gloves or you'll have black hands. It's good for a lot of things like appliances, etc.

Thank you so much! I'll be trying that very soon.
