You have got to be kidding me

This "tip" was included with a series of e-mail tips I received from the Dollar Stretcher today:

I save time and energy with a little housecleaning trick I learned from a friend. If you've ever scrubbed the sticky goo from the top of your refrigerator, you understand how cooking oil and smoke can mix with dust and make a mess. Now I just cover the top of the fridge with a layer of clear plastic wrap. When it gets dirty, I peel it off and throw it away, and then I replace it with a new layer. Whenever I can take short cuts and eliminate even a small portion of housecleaning, I'm happy.

Ordinarily, I like the tips I get with Dollar Stretcher, but I'll have to admit that when I read this, I thought, Lady, what kind of stuff are you smoking? Do you expect me to care what the top of my refrigerator looks like? Ever???

Jeez. Get a life. One that doesn't involve worrying about the tops of refrigerators.

We used the top of our refrigerator for overflow storage - the waffle iron lived there, along with a couple of other things. And it was just barely above eye-level, so I did kind of see it sometime. I really noticed it when I was getting something down from it. It probably got cleaned once or twice a year.

Admittedly, her cleaning solution wouldn't really work for my situation - the plastic wrap on the refrigerator would be too slippery to put things on!
