It seemed amazing and I thought the worst that could happen would be I would lose $10.00. The cloths sold for 1 for $5.00 or 3 for $10.00. I purchased three and I couldn't believe the results. I no longer use windex or any other glass cleaner. Just hot water and a "holy moly" cloth. They also work great on stainless steel. No more cleansers, just "holy moly" cloths. There is a website called holymolyconcepts.com that sells these cloths, but, it is more expensive than what I paid. Still well worth it, honestly!!
It's worth a try I hate my stainless fridge

I know it's an old thread but....want to surprise the wife with a spotless shower stall and clean oven interior.

What do I use to clean both without asphyxiating myself.

I have a new fav cleaner....not sure if you can use it on your shower stall but I use it on mine.

I go to the pharmacy and buy 91% rubbing alcohol ( it near the normal 3& rubbing alcohol) then I put it in a spray bottle and dilute it with equal parts of water. This is the best cleaner ever and works wonders on anything glass.
I love it on windows....it cleans without streaking because it dries fast (It is also easy to use on outside windows when it is cold outside or when the sun is shining on it....no streaks). Well I use it also on all my appliances and stainless steel sink....I remember using something similar at the hospital when we had to clean sinks.

Isn't the oven self-cleaning by using heat of the oven? Supposed to be able to wipe it out with detergent when done. I remember that nasty oven cleaner chemical...I don't think that's done anymore...?

Scrubbing bubbles for the shower...if you have soap scum and lime buildup, use a lime away type product first...

I would like to take the prints off the refrigerator and ovens without applying something oily or gummy. Sometimes soap and water does the job and sometimes it looks all streaky. Stainless steel appliances are made of different stuff, my last group weren't so challenging.

Our self cleaning oven doesn't clean the glass. I asked the sales person at Sears how to get it clean. Since it isn't actually glass (didn't know this) he told me to use bar keepers friend like I use on the stove top. I used the stove top scrubber with the bar keepers friend, and the glass was spotless. If you don't have a self cleaning oven, I would guess you would also need to clean the glass differently than the walls of the oven.

You're a terrific husband!

OK, I have read enough. Now I am going to give you all the secret.

Tile. Use a steam cleaner with a tablespoon of white vinegar in the water and make sure you dry the tile immediately after with a dry microfiber cloth or paper towels. CHANGE and wash the pads often, if you don't your just pushing dirt around. I have about a dozen pads for mine and change them as soon as they start to show any dirt.

Windows, including glass shower. I use a 5 gallon bucket 3/4 full of water. Add 1/2 teaspoon of Dawn and 2 tablespoons of white vinegar. Wash windows or any glass with a microfiber cloth and this now soapy solution. Use a squeegee to remove all water from the glass. I dry my squeegee with a dry microfiber between swipes. This is fast and your windows will sparkle with zero streaks after.

Stainless anything. Same solution as above with the dawn and white vinegar and eliminate the squeegee. Just use the wet and dry microfiber cloths. They will come out spotless and stay that way far longer.
