If you have a bathroom with a door like I do, I am pretty sure you have battled soap scum on your shower door. I tried a new mixture recently that seriously shocked me!
Mix equal parts Vinegar and blue Dawn in a spray bottle and kiss the soap scum goodbye. When I mixed my batch I popped the vinegar in the microwave for about 30 seconds and then mixed in my dawn.
I simply sprayed mixture on my shower door and let it sit for a minute or two. I used a brush (basically a ginormous toothbrush) and with circular motions I worked the cleaner into the door. I wiped clean using a damp rag - it may take several passes.
This cleaner worked so well on my shower doors. It is so clean and it was not hard at all! Best of all, there is no strong chemical odor like many bathroom cleaners.

Cleaning your Ceramic/Glasstop Stove
Okay, so I am pretty sure some of you have the beautiful ceramic stove tops that you got because it would be so much easier to clean than the traditional electric stoves. Right?? Yeah, and uhm, it's still a chore to keep the stovetop clean, right? Easy, easy solution using inexpensive household ingredients.
Fill a bowl or your sink with very warm water and a little Dawn dish liquid concentrate (the blue stuff). Soak a dish towel in it. Meanwhile, sprinkle baking soda on your stove, with heaviest concentration on the soiled areas. Now, take the towel out of the soapy water and ring out some of the liquid (you want it to be soggy). Lay the soggy towel on the stove top, over the baking soda. Let it sit about 15 minutes. Now, swirl the towel around, using the baking soda as a paste to gently scrub. If you have really soiled areas you may use an old toothbrush or a non abrasive scrub pad to help loosen the grime. When you are done push all of the baking soda into a pile and scoop up with your rag. Wipe stovetop well. You can shine it up with vinegar and water. I mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle and use that for stove top, chrome fixtures and etc.
You may use a razor blade to scrape burnt on food from ceramic stoves, but honestly, I have never let my stove get to the point where I needed to scrape things off of it. However, if you need to it is an option.
This may not be effective for all, but when I use it, my stove is perfectly clean just like the day I bought it! No harmful chemicals and I am just not sure you could clean it any cheaper!!
