From the FWIW department.

Cleaning that damn white cook top was almost an impossibility until I
discovered an old saved (no idea why) Crest Battery operated Toothbrush and
a little comet cleanser.

Now all the overlapping metal crevices are sans crud.

You?

I thought I was the only person who tried using a battery
operated toothbrush to clean something! (laugh) Besides
teeth, of course.

Nice. I hate when you clean something and it still looks grimy.

I have one of these, which is pretty much like a big electric toothbrush)

It has different sized interchangeable heads and I use it for many things

Perfect!

I might have to get one for myself. Because it looks fun to use, not
because I'm a very particular house cleaner.

That's the way I feel about my black stovetop. I use a razor blade,
but I can never get it looking brand new (so to speak).

I bet my ex-wife would like to use that on her clitoris. How does it
do down there? Is it safe? Sometimes when she uses a regular
vibrator she said it would make her numb after a while. Does that
really happen?

Might I suggest that if she needs such help, it could explain why you are
her ex!

I use them on my white GE gas cooktop. They work well on the grids too.

That's the ONE thing I really don't like about my induction
cooktop. You just can't get it so it looks totally unsmeary.
That is only when I am cleaning it, mind you, but it still bugs me.

Heh. Mine is black too. I must really like black, because my
last cooktop was also black, and I went into this knowing that
even one grain of salt looked bad on it.

Are you an NT or an Aspie? Most people don't say such things in
forums like this.

I've never had a problem with cleaning any cooktop. My current one is
biscuit colored. IE off white. If I get something stubborn on mine, I put
a little pool of cleaner on it then come back later and it wipes right off.

We had a "white" bathtub in the military housing that had a grayish cast to
it when we moved in. I couldn't get it to go away. But we had to in order
to move out. That particular place was brutal with their inspections. Took
my husband many hours and about 5 different kinds of cleaners to get it to
look white and shiny again.

It is, especially for getting into awkward corners. I suspect that if I can
get it here, you ought to be able to find it in US.

I discovered a good use for a soft toothbrush. I was polishing silver
that really needed it in preparation for the family coming for Xmas. I
was using that soft little non-sponge that comes with Wright's Silver
cream and spied an old toothbrush next to the sink. WOW! By brushing
gently with the toothbrush which had been dabbed in the Wright's
Silver Cream- all the grooves on the back and front of the silver got
cleaned without an inordinate amount of time+work. Pretty amazing.

aloha,

I'm just the opposite. I used to polish silver within an inch of its
life and then I discovered that I really, really, really liked tarnish
in the grooves because it makes the design stand out more. So I
stopped over polishing my silver after that.

I can envision that. I like jewelry with that "relief". Not that
I am into jewelry.

I have an ultrasonic cleaner, works fast and does a beautiful job on
silver flatware. Just use the correct solution for the item you're
cleaning. The pro models work best, are large enough to clean
flatware, and are not expensive.

I forget why I thought about getting one of those years ago.
Maybe it will come back to me.

Excellent for cleaning jewelry. Most folks buy a small one for
cleaning jewelry but for a few dollars more a larger one will clean
ornate flatware effortlessly... also great for cleaning eyeware. I
don't know if it's true but I've heard some use it to clean dentures.
I sometimes use mine for cleaning fountain pen parts.

Yes, I think it was for some eyeglasses.
