JUST IN TIME FOR SPRING CLEANING!! This is a homemade all purpose cleaner. The person I got it from uses it mainly for cleaning her stove top but can be used as an all purpose cleaner. It really works! I do not clean and I used it on our stove top that had not been cleaned off for at least a month. In less than 10 minutes I had a sparkling stove with very minimal effort. I sprayed whole stove once grabbed a cloth and wiped it off. Then I spot sprayed and let it sit for 3 minutes and just wiped off the grime without any scrubbing!
