I'd try one of those metal but not steel wool bright copper coloured scrubby things with a paste of automatic dishwashing soap as a pre-soak. You might also try a delicate run of paint scraper (onesided razor blade type), if it is *that* thick. Be prepared to "fill up" and throw out alot of those scrubbers. If that is too scratchy, try the green pads that look like matted hair. You'll fill up and have to chuck alot of those, as well. If the surface is really delicate, try to bathroom scrubbers...bright blue instead of matted green hair. Use goggles. Frustrating cleanup jobs lead to aggressive arm movements that spatter harsh chemicals. I know, oh, do I know. blacksalt who did alot of dorm cleaning in college, and went through alot of razor blades. |

Cleaning Refrigerator
Our deep fryer is on the counter next to the refrigerator. Over a year
and a half of use the refrigerator has grease spatters on the side. It is not too bad, but before we move out we need to get it clean. I tried scrubbing with hot soapy water and a plastic scrub pad, but it barely made a dent in the grease. I am sure steel wool would get it off, but that would ruin the finish. What should I do to get rid of the grease spots? -- John Gaughan http://www.johngaughan.net/ |

As well as that stuff is stuck on there, you may want to get one of those small
bottles of Goo Gone and squirt it all over it and let it sit for five minutes or so and the stuff should wipe right off. Michael O'Connor - Modern Renaissance Man "The likelihood of one individual being correct increases in a direct proportion to the intensity with which others try to prove him wrong" James Mason from the movie "Heaven Can Wait". |

Dog grooming shops I've work for uses this cleaning product with
superior results. I use it at home for everything including wiping down walls with flat paint-only product I've found that works-. It is expensive but one bottle lasts me a year at home and you won't have to be concern with any lingering food grease liquor odors in your dorm room. http://www.eliteorange.com/ |

Lets be nice and try to be helpful, not judgemental... Don't tell me that everyone here has never had "life" get in the way of "well, I'll do it tomorrow" then tomorrow never comes! I'm personally so paranoid about fires that I never let grease build up in the kitchen, but other things get put off and 18 months can go by like nothing. <G> Hence having to use acid to clean hard water deposits in my shower stall! :-P No mildew, just white lime streaks. Swimming pool acid works great for that and I purchased a brand new Israeli gas mask off of ebay just for using pure acid in the bathroom. <G> Works too.

But after a while, the grease still builds up. It is not really bad, just a few large splotches and I was able to get most of it up. There are just a few stubbon parts. My house is very clean overall. I keep the stove, sink, bathrooms, etc. spotless.

Speak of what you know, not what you guess (incorrectly). If the "landlord" decides to replace appliances, it is deducted from my paycheck. See, there is no landlord per se, this is military housing. Overall they have unreasonable expectations about the condition of the house when I move out, but it is not unreasonable to expect me to clean up some built-up grease. -- John Gaughan http://www.johngaughan.net/ |

Amonia cut with water for starters. If that doesn't work, try an orange degreaser. If that fails, Dawn has a product on the morket called Power Dissolver.
