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?

A few years ago the Test Kitchen tested cleaners, and recommended one
called "Method". We use it here at home, and it works really well on
grease that has baked on. It's not exactly "commercial" grade, but it
seems to do the job.

I remember that episode and Adam Ried (yes, I spelled it correctly or
at least how HE spells it) said streaks drove him crazy. Does the
Method do well on kitchen cabinets, especially the ones over a gas
range?

Sure thing - steam cleaning.

And start with a good citrus degreaser spray.

It's what we use on Marty ;-)

Staeam cleaning. 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 HTH.

I've used it, b4. I'll give it a try.

Thanks for all the positive advice, gang. I appreciates it.

What happened to TSP?

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. 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.

"Purple" degreaser which can be found at 'Depot, Lowes's, Sam's or
similar works very well. I prefer Zep brand, but they're all pretty
similar. 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.

Oven cleaner. The one I use is primarily sodium hydroxide, so use
gloves and don't breathe the fumes, use in a well veltilated area,
etc.

Sodium hydroxide will dissolve aluminum, and the reaction produces
hydrogen gas, which is explosive. It probably won't do the paint on your
cupboards any good, either.

This stuff works.

Mixing it with TSP solution could only help.
