You, my friend, are a genious. I have this plastic scraper I was using for
stripping finishing off of wood. Worked like a charm (most of it was soap
scum.) Now there is an acceptable layer of scum and not an icky layer. I 
may just finish it off for good later in the week.

Now I just need to slay the demons in my dishwasher... it works, but
leaves horrible water spots. I don't have a slot/dispenser for the
no-spots/jet-dry stuff... I've tried running two cycles-- one which
is for the wash, one which is rinse-only, no avail.

I think this will all wind-up in the housekeeping section of 
bachelor-cooking.com (which I haven't taken a look at in ages.)
