Air Fryer or Shark Steam cleaner
I opted for the steam cleaner.
I followed the advice of a sibling and mixed baking soda, peroxide and dishwashing liquid and water - spread it all over the floor with a broom, left it for 30 minutes and then steamed and wiped.
These tan tiles now look brand new.

(71,909 posts)put a bit, a tsp or so, of dishsoap, or dishwasher soap, in a spray bottle w water. dishsoap for greasy stuff, dw soap for protein stains. spray heavily, let sit for a while.
if its rly grimy, use a stronger solution. but the trick is to let it sit.
the work is half done when the steamer starts.
for wood surfaces, use an oil based soap. murphys or an olive oil soap.
for tile, i like a little ascorbic acid, aka vit c. u can buy it by the bucket, cheaply. it does anything white vinegar can do. its strong tho, so b careful. and dont leave the solution in the spray bottle. the springs will rot.
great for bird cages, too.

Or even DUing something.
The thing is that I dont ear red meat or pork so there goes the bacon.
Thanks but I have way too much stuff😀
The steamer now - that cleans really fast.

(3,811 posts)they both love to use our kitchen. I have to admit some of their stuff is very good. Fake meat now is nearly indistinguishable from the real stuff with the proper fix-ins. I just can't make the leap. A bridge to far I suppose.
