    I've recently moved into a new house and the existing tiles and cupboards have grease on them I've tried all sorts of cleaners but to no avail. Any suggestions?

    Oh and the steam cleaner things, are they any good?

    I'm sure vinegar is good for cutting through grease, there's something anyway! Someone more knowledgable will be able to tell you :D

    I use those soap filled brillo pads.

    Steam Cleaner - is it worth getting one?

    I'll add your thread to the first link later to keep the suggestions together.

    I think it's going to need a steam cleaner type thing. I was looking at the Ultra Steam Mop - Any one used one or a similar one?

    Mayonnaise - just use the cheapest- spread it over and leave for an hour then go back and wipe off
    saw this on how clean is your house and it works
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

    There's been lots of mentions of steam cleaners recently on OS, must be the season or something!:p
    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

    Daisy kitchen cleaner from Tesco is cheap and fantastic at removing ground in grease.

    Soda crystals dissolved in very hot water cuts through grease :)
