This has to be the single most boring thread I've ever started..Blush

But someone please tell me how to get grease off the kitchen tiles.

I have tried

Sugar soap
Fairy liquid
Bleach
Brillo pads

And still the tiles are all sticky.

What else can I Tey

Cilit Bang degreaser.

Leave it on for a good 20 mins & then wipe off. Wear rubber gloves - it degreases your hands as well!

Gileswithachainsaw · 25/10/2016 10:03

Brilliant thanks you I shall get some tonight

A steam cleaner works, as do the magic sponges.

Gileswithachainsaw · 25/10/2016 10:04

I did try the steam cleaner that didn't seem to work either.

What are magic sponges

rivit?

One of those words I've looked at too long to be sure of the spelling!

I always use a damp cloth dipped in bicarbonate of soda. The bicarb acts as an abrasive. I find it very satisfying.

JohnLapsleyParlabane · 26/10/2016 09:50

Old fashioned Jif (Cif) cream cleaner

Gileswithachainsaw · 26/10/2016 09:51

Unfortunately there was no degreaser

Stupid supermarket...

I was all set and stupidly excited myself

What about Brillo pads

Mcchickenbb41 · 26/10/2016 09:54

Sorry just read you tried that

magimedi · 26/10/2016 09:59

Get thee to another emporium! Grin

You can see what a dull life I lead atm. Am a bit housebound so degreasing threads are a lifeline Grin

fluffiphlox · 26/10/2016 10:02

A solution of bio powder or liquid. I prefer liquid. Water tepid not hot.

Gileswithachainsaw · 26/10/2016 10:03

That I can try. I can dig out the liquid I just binned as I don't use.

I use white vinegar, you an buy it in a spray bottle in wilko. I remember reading here that some people use car wax on their tiles, I imagine that would work well as it certainly removes the grease and grime from my car.

HeyMacWey · 26/10/2016 10:10

Aldi's Orange kitchen spray gets through mucky kitchen grease.
Use with a green sponge scourer.

magimedi · 26/10/2016 18:55

Drums fingers on table....

Can't wait any longer.

OP - are you OK or are you sinking into a miasma of grease??

I second Cillit band grease and sparkle - it's in the green bottle. Works like a charm!

Gileswithachainsaw · 26/10/2016 19:02

I wasn't feeling too well today so no outing fir cilit bang. I do promise however to report back Grin

I find neat washing up liquid on a washing up sponge works pretty well with mine.

CurtainsforRonnie · 26/10/2016 19:05

Gahhhh. Tell us where you live & we will deliver you some and scrub the walls Halloween Wink

Gileswithachainsaw · 26/10/2016 19:08

Now there's an offer I can't refuse...Grin

Muddlingthroughtoo · 26/10/2016 19:18

Can you scrape it off first with a paint scraper? Or a mixture of vinegar, star drops and water should do it.

Gileswithachainsaw · 26/10/2016 19:22

It's not thick enough to scrape I don't think.

You can't even really see it it's just sticky....

Ooh. Just had a thought. Would the dishwasher tablet trick work..?
