Stain Removal

You already know what they say about moving houseā€¦.

It always would seem that you have more stuff than you remember when you have to load it all into a truck and drive it away. When we first moved into the apartment, it took us one trip with a Tacoma, and we were done. Get degreaser to remove stains.

A few years later, two trips with a U-haul along with a few more trips with the brother in laws Nissan, we still have enough garbage left to fill up the dumpster outside.

I still don't even know where all these things came from! It is not like we went to IKEA or to garage sales every other week. I am flabbergasted by the way all this rubbish seemed to increase over a short space of time.

After all that tough work, there is still all the cleaning I had to do in order to get back my security deposit back. I am also amazed at how dirty everything seemed now the clutter had been carried away. There were grease stains on the carpet from my bicycle, teeny little nail holes in the dry wall that needed filling in, mildew on the tiles and around the taps in the bathroom and the kitchen. I don't even want to mention those little drip pans that were caked with grease from three years worth of dinners

I had presumed falsely that my oven somehow was self cleaning. If you leave the burner on long enough and let it burn hot enough, all that crud underneath it should just burn away right? Not so my friend, not so. In fact, apparently the longer you go without cleaning those drip pans, the more impossible they become to clean grease stains. I even tried to soak them in the strongest degreaser I could find at the time, and left them soak for over 8 hours. It kind of helped, but not a lot, only taking about one year's worth of junk off. I really should just have bought new ones.
