Lame DIY/Cleaning thread

[longers]

Redecorating the house and have stumbled upon the top of the cookers extractor fan and at the top it's absolutely riddled with thick greese.

I've tried various techniques to remove it such as cream cleaners, bicarbonate soda etc but none of them are hardcore enough to remove it without literally hours of relentless scrubbing which i can't be arsed with.

Anyone here know of a brand of 'greese cleaner' that is industrial strength and will rip through anything ? Or any other tips...

Apologies for probably the single dullest thread in this forums history, perhaps some posters can liven things up and start a pointless argument over which cleaning substance/method is better or how only tories clean extractor fans or something.

I put the foil grilles into Elbow Grease Oven Cleaner. Its available in most discount stored (B&M/Poundland etc)

The Stainless steel I tackle with Lemon halfs and baking soda then buff using a Magic Cloth.

@longers , You're making feel old here and with a degree of OCD.

Probably quick and easier ( maybe not cheaper though) and less toxic fumes to pull it out and put a new one in.

Oh and clean it more often

Sawdust, obviously.

Set it on fire, put it in the bin, buy a new one.

The obvious answer is get a new wife.

Is what a misogynist might say, however I wouldn't say it.

On baked in grease, I've used something called "Barkeepers Friend," which lots of restaurants use. However, this video below, a fellow uses another product:

Move your extractor fan higher so you can’t see the grease

Have you tried leaving bicarb of soda on it for a while, then adding white vinegar. Proper shifts stuff. Might need a few rounds, but it works.

Soda crystals mixed in with water is cat hot on grease.

Oh, and stop being such a bad scruff and clean mote frequently / change the charcoal filters in your cooker hood (or get one).

Xxx

[marnie]

I really panicked then, I thought my missus had joined up.

It's called DIM in our house, Do It Myself. She once asked me to paint the door frame while I was at work. I said ok, get home and she's done it herself. Then she had the cheek to have a cob on about it all night.
