Household Hints & Help
Related: About this forumAnyone else here use car wax in the bathroom?
We have really hard water where I am. I used to never be able to keep the water spots off the glass shower doors, even with squeegeeing after each shower they still got spots. Then I remembered how my grandmother used to use car wax on the mirror in the bathroom. It keeps it from getting foggy, or deveoping those streaks heavy steam can cause. So, I tried it on the shower doors and it worked like a charm. Best part is it lasts a long time. It usually takes about three months before I notice the water isn't running off like it used to.
I also use it on my bathroom fixtures now and they're all water spot free as well.

I tried to use my granite polish on my formica (sp?) vanity. Do not recommend. It made a streaky mess.
Car was I can see though as it dries hard enough to buff out.
