Re: Help!!!!!
I have this horrid louvre thingy in my washroom. It's open to the elements and also gets all the cooking grease etc from the kitchen. I have no idea how to clean it. I'm not tall enough to reach the top and there's no room for a ladder. It really does my head in.
To make matters worse all my Spanish neighbours have gleaming ones. Grrrrr.

Re: Help!!!!!
Stand on a beer crate and use a feather duster dipped in hot soapy water or even better get some engine degreaser from the car accessory shop. It come in a spray. spray on , wipe off.

Re: Help!!!!!
I have never tried engine degreaser on cooking type oil/fat. Does it work well or are you better with fairy lipsquid?
I have used hot tap water and lots of fairy to clean diesel spills from my engine after changing diesel pipes etc, that made the whole engine nice and clean. I just poured on the very strong fairy and hot water mix, left it a few minutes then threw a bucket of cold water over the engine.

Re: Help!!!!!
Neil, be careful with washing up liqued as it has a high salt content which isn't good when it comes to exposed metal! Likewise its not good for washing cars with as it affects any rubber seals and if you have scratches will actually help them to start rusting.
Engine degreaser is grill on cooking fat, When we work in teh restaurant teh kitchens got 'deep cleaned' once a year where a company would come in and literally pull teh place apart. they used Paint stripper to remove baked on carbon, engine degreaser on the extrator hoods and some vicious cleaner on the stainless steel.( as in full masks and breathing equipment.)

Re: Help!!!!!
Wouldn't the engine degreaser leave an awful smell? The stuff I use on engine parts takes a while to clear up, and that's outside.
