My tenants of 1 year, just moved out and it has taken me 6 solid hours to clean the kitchen and that was with them having a cleaner in once a fortnight and them supposedly having cleaned it already! I'm dreading tackling the bathroom:eek:

Try soda crystals Soda Crystals they are brilliant at getting rid of that kind of grease and they are under a pound a pack.

Try stardrops neat as well once you've scrapped off the worst it'll shift the rest no problem. Can be bought from most supermarkets, wilko's, semi-chem etc for 69p for a 500ml bottle.

Hello pigsmightfly

The experts in the 'Old Style' board will come up with some cleaning tips for you, so I'll move your thread across.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

Regards

just to say that when i had a similar experience with the grease at the tops of cupboards, i found the best thing was a liberal amount of Fairy liquid to cut through the grease. Use old cloths to clear up and rinse as it is a mucky job!

You're right there :rolleyes:

We've tried all kinds and it is so bad it's just hardly shifting. It's really sticky and horrible.

Going to tell her some of the tips I've read so far though so fingers crossed

i moved last year and the house was a disgrace im not a snob by all means but a bit of a clean freakkkkkk. i used washing up liquid,hot water+some bleach in a basin and scrubbed the top of units with a scourer then once the grease was off i just used flash spray and a cloth to go over it came up great.
