  • Anyone got any recommendations for cleaning kitchen units/tiles etc.. mine are all greasy around the oven even though I clean it quite often it never seems to come clean.. it’s all discoloured and the hard to reach area’s have a greasy layer and it’s just not nice to see nor can it be hygienic ??

    Hot water and Stardrops are what I use for greasy units. The whole back wall behind my cooker is white tiles and they really show the grease, I just fill a bowl with really hot water (wear rubber gloves) & stardrops and they wipe clean with a microfibre cloth.

    To tackle most greasy kitchen jobs, I use the old-fashioned soda crystals in a strong solution with hot water. They seem to tackle most greasy jobs......I even unblocked an outside drain with them once when my husband was about 2 mins away from calling the plumber out (70p instead of a big bill!).

  • Yes a pair of rubber gloves and soda crystals in as hot a water as possible with a pot scourer should see most grease off and its quite cheap.

    I have yet to find anything that shifts grease better and as cheap as soda crystals, I also use them to clean the inside of my oven.

    Soda crystals for me too - the best grease shifter you will ever find. You can buy it in a liquid form too, which is what I use for cleaning - the powdered sort I put in with my washing (and loo cleaning).
