[quote=Homewardbound66;2269720]How about car wax on the shower walls? It definitely makes the water bead and you have that "new car smell" to boot! It does really work.
Seriously, car wax will keep build-up off the shower walls? I can't wait to try this.
I will be moving in to a new house in a few weeks. It has a beautiful shower stall with a glass door. Any suggestions for keeping soap/water/lime build-up off the door? I am remembering the horrors of build-up on the plastic shower doors I had 20 years ago.

Read down the thread or do a search, there are a LOT of suggestions.

Well, if it is the European style glass (w/ no frame) we have been talking here about using the Liquid glass. That should keep the build up down. So I would start w/ that.
When you get time, go read this whole thread- you are NOT going to believe all the suggestions! I have had a blast learning new ideas on this thread!
Does anyone use DRYEL - (Drycleaning done in the dryer w/ a special bag)
Would love to hear your experiences . . .
I have...just freshens it up a bit. It does not remove any stains even if you rub that little wet towelette on the stain. It's only good for sweaters and the like...things you don't have to iron. Jackets and suits still need to go to the drycleaners, unfortunately. Oh BTW, if you use DRYEL on pants, ah let's say it does not freshen up the area where it's needed the most!
Thought I'd share this tip. I quilt quite a bit using the fused applique method and sometimes the fusible slips out and sticks under the hot iron. Also, spray starch causes a build-up after a while. I know there are some commercial gunk removers they sell for the Rowenta irons. I just use a used up dryer sheet and run a hot iron over it. If the gunk is persistent, I use as many used dryer sheets as I have...smells good as well. In no time, there would be no sticky, icky stuff on that sole plate.

That's cool or hot... how ever you want to look at it...

Well, I got some so I will just use it for sweaters and such. Doesn't sound very helpful in the big scheme of things, tho. So glad you weighed in on this one. Makes sense to forego DH's stuff - his suits are going to need a "real" dry cleaning, Hee Hee.
Location: If I had two dead mice I would give you one.

I cant remember whether I posted this or not. But if you wipe down your shower walls and glass doors with a rough dry towel every time you shower it will take care of most spots. I just use my towel after I dry off but if youre fussy use an old one. Id rather wash towels than clean. Oh and i works better with no fabric softener in the towels.

You mention no fabric softener. I would like to hear how you all deal w/ fabric softener on things like rugs and towels. It really does cut down on absorption ability . . . but then if I don't use it - stuff is not so fluffy.
So what do you all do? Does everyone use fabric softener (liquid) in wash w/ towels? I have now eliminated it w/ rugs. Do you use sheets? Do you find the sheets leave a film in your dryer.
Can we have a discussions about fabric softener - both liquid and sheets - and what everyone's experiences have been??? (good and bad) And recommendations . . . Thank you!!!!
