Default Grease around Stove (Impossible to Remove)


Simple Green. Start with a 25 % solution in w hot repeat hot water.

If that doesnt work, go to 50 % solution. In hot water.

Let it sit / stand whatever on surface for 5 - 10 ,imutes. Rinse with
hot water. Use A LOT of dry loth towels to soak up dirty water.

I am cleaning up a rental (you know what that means) apartment
and the grease on the walls around the stove is proving very
difficult to remove. Tried: Baking Soda, TSP, Dishwashing
Detergent, Bleach, WD40, Lysol, Spray Nine. Tomorrow I'll
try Dunk (automotive degreaser). It just isn't coming off.

I guess I could scrape it too and then sand it but that'll
make an unholy dusty mess of the kitchen. We want to
paint the whole apartment so if the paint comes off,
that's OK too. Underneath is probably plaster. Not drywall.

Any other suggestions? thanks...thehick
