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.

Steel wool? Vinegar? If you've tried those, then, yeah, I'd toss it. (That's for baked on goo. For sticky goo like label residue, I use mayonnaise.)
