My mother in law gave me a box of these
stainless steel wipes (possibly as a hint that my fridge was filled with fingerprints) that work so well. I've tried to get the fingerprints and scratch marks off my refrigerator for a while. After using these wipes the fingerprints are gone and the scratches are much less noticeable. Sorry to get off on a tangent, here's the tut:

magnet photo collage or
magnetic paper dolls.
