Write in something like 'Please wash-up, Honey!' or the like. :) I think it's sweet (er, pun not originally intended...) that you have lovingly cleaned up each time with no fuss to your Granddad. :) Don't see that kind of respect from a lot of folks these days. :) Take care. Hope it helps!

Actually, it's more of a desperate cry for help. My 91 year up grandpa loves to eat honey, but he doesn't clean his hands afterwards. Consequently, he gets honey everywhere, especially in the kitchen. By the time I get home from work, the kitchen is a sticky mess. I clean everything with hot soapy water and that does the job, but how do I keep the honey from sticking to the wood cabinetry? Is their something I can apply after cleaning so the next time I clean, it's easier? PLEASE HELP!!! I'm sick of the germs!!
