I then poured ammonia to cover the grates. I closed the bag and closed the bin. Left it over night, at least 12 hours, an the next day I just rinsed off all the "gunk".

When we moved into our rental apartment, there was so much grease on our stove, and we have never been able to get it off. Who would have thought that it would be as simple as putting baking soda on it. <a href="http://acegrease.com/cooking-oil-pickup.html" rel="nofollow"> http://acegrease.com/cooking-oil-pickup.html</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355913762334867389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307970033172736854.post-62726558124654168022015-04-07T12:24:51.946-06:002015-04-07T12:24:51.946-06:00I have one of those industrial sized kitchen ovens...I have one of those industrial sized kitchen ovens that are used in restaurants. Would baking soda work on a surface that large? It is astounding how much grit and grime is on this oven hood. Overall, the last thing I want to do is one waste my time and two wreck my oven. My fingers are crossed and hoping that baking soda does the trick.<br /> <a href="http://www.fireandsafety.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.fireandsafety.net</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12921074560910247042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307970033172736854.post-73035179117498260322015-04-04T15:40:52.295-06:002015-04-04T15:40:52.295-06:00Yes!!!

You have no idea how relieved to know I'm not the only one. I have a pug mix and I swear he never stops shedding! It doesn't matter how clean you keep the dog or house. Furnace vents, sweep, vacuum, swiffer, it gets everywhere! We've been in our new build a year now and it still blows my mind how much that stuff travels and that was starting out new fresh and staying on top of it.

Then, take a pair of tongs and put in the cover. Let it sit in there about 60 seconds and the grease will just come right off. It is gross looking, but soo easy!

It's nice to see that you are human ;) LOL Too many blogs never show this side of them. I would love to walk into my house after work and see it is spotlessly clean. Unfortunately, although I don't have small children at home, by house is visited by my grandkids and their parents. My hubby, who is retired and a son who thinks our house is his base of his business and as such works on his projects with his father in my kitchen. He has a landscaping business, so I think you get the picture!<br /><br />Anyway, great pointers and I have to say, my mom used to tell me, if you can't do a good cleaning you can do . . . and she would tell me how to make the house look like it was really clean without hours of cleaning. One of them was, as you said, picking up little pieces of things on the rug so you didn't have to vacuum. She called these little pieces "chi-a-dees". It's Italian for something tiny.<br /><br />Also liked today's post, I'll have to get out my baking soda and start cleaning! Ha, maybe tomorrow!MaryJean Zajachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14267846518541872498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307970033172736854.post-74561383782814441972015-02-19T15:37:19.744-07:002015-02-19T15:37:19.744-07:00I wonder how it would do as a concentrated soak fo...I wonder how it would do as a concentrated soak for the horrible vent cover at the top of my microwave? That thing is just NASTY, and no amount of scrubbing helps. And dish soap just turns the grease green! EEEWWWW!<br /><br />I hear you about the dogs and grease. We have a choco lab, plus whatever color lab we are fostering at any given time, plus 3 nasty dirty little boys and a big semi-clean adult boy LOL ;) Grease jumps all over the place around here. I'm ready to paint my bannister (which happens to be in the kitchen/dining room) black.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13184464773122257450noreply@blogger.com
