My mom's house is pretty dirty from her having never cleaned the upper
levels of this small cathedral ceilinged park model. Grease from the kitchen has been accumulating for yrs. I've tried my fave grease cutter, 409, and it knocks off most of the crude, but a stubborn residue remains unfazed. Almost like plaque. What do resto kitchens --or their hired cleaning services-- use to cut the grease in the exhaust hoods? Anyone know? nb |

Does the Method do well on kitchen cabinets, especially the ones over a gas range? |

And start with a good citrus degreaser spray. It's what we use on Marty ;-) |

You can rent a steam cleaner or hire someone to do it for you. It's the only thing that really works on that hardened grease layer. We used a steamer in the restaurant. Works like a charm. |

Years ago, Boli (RIP!) recommended "Greased Lighting" when I inquired about a serious de-greaser for my stove's exhaust hood --- http://www.greased-lightning.com/ Although I haven't used this product recently, I recall it worked extremely well, sometimes too well ![]() Sky |

You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the total blue. After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3 years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY MOVING IN WITH YOU? That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2 years. Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away. There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo. And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're manic depressive mixed with habitual liar. Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles. -sw |

Wear gloves and chem splash goggles when using lest you dissolve your hands or eyes. Rinse well when done. They have a wide dilution range so start out weak and add more degreaser until you are happy with how fast it works. |

It probably won't do the paint on your cupboards any good, either. |
