When we first moved in to Castle Ranger, we went through and cleaned the
entire house starting in the kitchen. The combo stove/oven was the first
item we deemed a necessary removal-replacement. The people that owned
the home prior were not kind to that appliance, let alone worried about
cleanliness. There was an accumulation of grease, sauces and other
less-identifiable goops all over the walls and flooring. We rented a
steamcleaner and bought stock in Viva and TSP. It took most of the day
cleaning that particular area to see the floor and walls again.
