| 752414 | 2009-03-01 05:52:00 | How do you clean the fat traps in a rangehood? Eeeew. You make someone else do it. Nah seriously you need super hot water to help melt it, and a goldilocks scrubber or something for major gunk and then some BAM Degreaser. Not the other stuff - has to be the degreaser. You spray it all over it and leave it for 1/2 hour, then come back and wipe it all off. Then do your dishwashing thing last. |

| 752417 | 2009-03-02 02:31:00 | It's the dishwasher powder that does the job . This powder must not contain soaps or detergents that lather in dishwashers . That would cause cavitation and ruin the pumps . I believe the powder is the nearest thing to the old fashioned caustic soda that is available today . Leave the filters to soak overnight - I have surprised even commercial cleaners with the success of this method although I would have thought they should be aware of it themselves . Ordinary detergents are almost useless - the steam method is probably the best - if available . But if you use the method above - keep your hands out of the liquid and preferably use gloves . |

Thrill seekers? Several hundred metres indeed ! I think not. She is at a marginally safe 9,800 Km range at present, but I still feel a bit nervous at those brave remarks. More might be better. She is also well and truly away from any internet opportunities, so that helps my nerve a bit. ;) |
