Cleaning Kitchen (Grease problem)...

LittleBrownFrog

Another vote for sugar soap - when we moved in here I think I spent about a month sugar soaping the entire house:rotfl:

Sprinkle on borax and scrub with hot water. Not that it's terribly intensive scrubbing needed, it's surprisingly easy to clean the greasy deposits with this.

its particulalry noticable on the cupboard doors above the cooker. The doors are pine with a light coat of varnish. So far ive tried washing up liquid, and pledge soapy wood cleaner-neither successful. any tips?

HG Grease Away spray (from Lakeland) is magic in a bottle.

I used a paste of bicarb mixed with water. Give it a scrub & a good rinse & they'll be lovely!

Try Sugar soap, you can get it ready made in a squirty bottle from d.i.y places

A paste of soda crystals and water left on for a few minutes might work. I used this on the extractor fan in our kitchen and could just wipe the grease off with a damp towel. There was a lot of grease, it didn't look like it had been cleaned in years!

I normally use diluted stardrops from a spray bottle but if its really bad I have those magic eraser sponges and they are brill!

I vaguely remember Kim and Aggie doing the side of a cooker,really greasy cupboard but can't remember what they set the woman to work with??

I would be interested in the replies to this issue. I would like to add into the equation my aversion to the smell or the fragrance or fumes that come off some cleaning stuff. For example I can’t use Apple type washing up liquid only lemon. Bleach makes me nauseous and window cleaner takes my breath away leaving me feeling like I‘m having an asthma attack. For normal wiping and dusting I use wipes; Dettol wipes, Pledge polish wipes, Flash floor wipes. The problem only becomes a concern when it’s time for a good clean out. Any ideas?
