I saw this on TV many years ago. Mix a little bit of vinigar with Cream of Tartar into a paste. It will clean a stove top, glass bakeware, metal pan or even spots on the oven window glass without scratching and leaves a nice clean finish. It will take a little bit of rubbing, but it cleans very well.

Scrubbing dishes takes a lot less time thanks to the soft bristles on the scrubber, even after cleaning the scrub brush afterwards to prevent bacteria. The scrub brush is also great for getting into all the nooks and crannies of plastic container lids.
