BalanceSeeker Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Here's what I've tried so far: Cabinets: Cabinet magic, mineral spirits, a garden variety of spray cleaners, and I think I've tried vinegar. Stainless hood: Windex; Vinegar worked so-so, but took a lot of elbow grease and it felt like I was just smearing the grease around. Also, how do you clean those inserts for the vent? They are quite gooped up, too. Anyone know of something that will dissolve it so all I have to do is wipe it off? :lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Magic eraser works surprisingly well--I do rinse it after. Works on the crud on my glass top stove, too. I also like Pinesol but don't like the smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secular_mom Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Baking soda and water paste :iagree: Magic Erasers tend to disintegrate faster when using them on 'crud'. I use a sturdy wet dish cloth, and just dip it in a dish of baking soda repeatedly (as needed). I don't know of anything that will just dissolve it... well, MAYBE Dawn Dissolver. But that is for baked on/cooked on gunk on dishes. I don't know what it would do to cabinets/walls. It comes in a plastic spray bottle, and works GREAT on dishes. Or maybe it would work well to just dilute some regular dish washing liquid and apply that, let it sit for a few minutes, and see if it wipes off. I'd think that'd require lots of rinsing though. If you don't rinse soap away, the residue tends to collect dirt faster. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalanceSeeker Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Off to buy a vat of baking soda (I can't believe I'm out!) Thanks for the tips ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danestress Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I used to have a spray bottle that was blue and was called "Dissolve." It was supposedly for heavy duty pan cleaning. My sister says it's basically spray on oven cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMom2One Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Did you know you can buy it in 12 lb. bags at Costco (Sam's Club)? It is very inexpensive too. I use it for so many things that I buy it this way and have it on hand for anything and everything. Blessings, Lucinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
