apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

no, but I'll definitely be trying it out.

i wonder if it will leave my stainless steel looking dirty?

How is this less annoying and time consuming than cleaning the stove after cooking?

i heard the same thing works for sinks, especially porcelain ones, but i've yet to try it.

What's in car wax, and do I really want it on my stove?

TY. :0)

baking soda does the same thing and I'd prefer to use that around food rather than car wax.

I've read that car wax is a good sealant for granite countertops, which are apparently meant to be resealed every few years. So I tried it once. Didn't seem worth the effort.

(Caveat: My stove is a 1960s Kenmore, four burners plus griddle, two pilot lights stove. Possibly not a typical situation, but here's my take-)

I'd worry about the warm spots on the stovetop from the pilot lights beneath-- this is the spot that most needs protection, as any spill immediately browns itself on the spot (with the pilot's heat). However, wouldn't there be some manner of fumes from heating the car-wax-treated surface?

My coworker turtle waxes her toilet bowl. She cleans, then dips out the water. She does it every 1 or 2 years. She says it works like a charm.

along the same lines, if you wipe a little shaving cream on your mirrors with a paper towel it will keep them from steaming up. if it looks a little cloudy sprinkle a few drops of water and wipe off.

i have been using paste wax on my fiberglass shower walls for years ... soap doesn't stick, and the wax lasts for about a year! (i clean with scrub-free, so the wax doesn't rub off) ... so i guess it should work the same way on the stove ... but i also like 'campari's' comment about using baking soda instead of wax around food, although i'm afraid of the residue being cloudy (i have a flat surface ceramic cook top) ...
