FML Have you ever seen what happens...

[escorpion]

When you drop melted butter everywhere? I put butter in the oven so it would soften so it would be easier to make a cake with. Husband comes in and tells me to be careful as I am getting it out the oven. Queue me dropping it and it going everywhere and I mean everywhere. I am so bloody sick of being clumsy. Then, as it is cool here, it has started to solidify before I can clean and mop it up. I can´t get the sodding thing out of the cracks in the fridge door. It has made the floor slippy. It is in all the nooks and cracks of the drawers and cupboards. On cook books. On the worktop and stove top. 250g of melted and half solidified butter. FML. I am going to be finding this for weeks aren´t I?

Aaaaaaghhh! Sending lots of sympathy.

Could you melt it again with a hairdryer to chase it all into one spot....??

grasping at straws

Hahaha. Unfortunately I have a small kitchen. It's from top to bottom and everywhere. No salvation 😬

Grab your passport, abandon the house and start a new life. A butter coated kitchen is not something any of us are fully equipped to deal with

You just made me feel better.

Pour hot soapy water over the cracks where you can't reach. It cleans it out. Do put a tray or towels underneath though or you'll get a large puddle.

great plan witchend! I have got most of the butter out of the cracks in the rubber of the fridge door with a knife. To make it worse, when I finally made the cake it sank in the middle ffs!!

Mumma! That would be wonderful, to escape somewhere nice and hot!

Obviously, be very careful wrt to electric safety, but maybe a hairdryer would melt the last bits enough to be wiped off?

I feel your pain - I dropped an entire fish pie last night - fish, white sauce and potato everywhere. Thankfully it was in an enamel dish so I didn't have broken china to pick up as well. DH's helpful idea "maybe you could borrow someone's cat to eat it off the floor"
Recommend an old towel, very hot water, and a lot of detergent to get rid of the oiliness.

And then emigrate

You have my sympathies. I threw the entire contents of an hard to open pack of hundreds and thousands all over the kitchen once and still find the occasional one down the side of the fridge now.

I dropped 15 eggs once on my kitchen floor, they sort of cascaded out of the open egg box. That was fun to clean! I could imagine melted butter would be on par with that.

Oh noooo, I feel your pain. My DD once ‘helped’ by polishing the tiled kitchen floor with furniture polish. It was slippy as a bitch for ages. I asked on here for suggestions in the end and some very clever person said to use sugar soap, like you use to clean and degrease walls before painting. It worked. It’s a few quid from DIY shops if nothing else helps.

If its still a bit slippy, sift some flour over then vacuum up.

I once threw a full bottle (1ltr) of cooking oil at my ExH's head (he deserved it, but sadly I missed) without checking that the lid was on....sprayed the ceiling, floor, walls, kitchen curtains, dog bed, dog...

Get elbow grease from savers or £ shop. It’s magic for greasy things.

Oh no! I once tried that trick of dipping a balloon into melted chocolate to make containers for ice cream. Unfortunately the chocolate was too hot and the balloon burst...chocolate everywhere!! Ceiling, walls, units, window

Salt is really good for slippy floors. Pour lots of salt on the floor, rub it in, sweep it up. Repeat if necessary. (250ml of bath oil on the bathroom tiles)

When we moved in, I put a brand new glass bottle of olive oil on a shelf by the stove. I don't know how big, wine bottle sized? anyway, turns out the shelf wasn't strong enough to hold that much weight, the bottle struck the edge of the stone worktop on the way down and that's an offing lot of oil, the half of it that went down the wall will never recover, it soaked right through the paint into the plaster.

I was making a giant jaffa cake. Had it in a glass flan dish. Was spreading the melted chocolate on top. Yep, it fell off the worktop, choc side down onto the slate floor. The glass dish smashed and made seventeen billion splinters stuck in the back of the sponge, so I couldn't even scrape the jaffa cake off the not surgically sterile floor and scoff it anyway.

And previously I managed to spill a load of passata on the floor in the kitchen, splashing red thick goo all over the cream cupboards. Looked like someone had been murdered.

My ds dropped a full box of crickets on my kitchen floor.
They lived for a month all through the house .couldnt catch the bastards ,they hit the floor ,the lid flew off and they went in every direction...was awful,felt dirty knowing they were loose.
