I buy white vinegar and CHEAP generic lemon juice (at my grocery store this stuff is like $1 a bottle). In a spray bottle, pour 1/4 water, 1/2 white vinegar and 1/4 lemon juice :) Cuts grease and grime like crazy!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189037056337614854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681345169052205157.post-39544746755248956002013-11-19T20:05:04.505-06:002013-11-19T20:05:04.505-06:00Heath, I use a large sprayer, but only fill to 2/3...Heath, I use a large sprayer, but only fill to 2/3rds full. I haven't used it in awhile since my hubby's taken over cleaning the bathrooms with me being pregnant and now attached to a baby, but I'd start there and adjust, your type of water might affect things? I used baking soda even without it being heavy grime most of the time.Melissa Jagearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439765292197683329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681345169052205157.post-82009444270651153102013-11-19T19:56:21.908-06:002013-11-19T19:56:21.908-06:00I just tried this on my grimy stove and it was pre...I just tried this on my grimy stove and it was pretty good. Just curious… if you'll look at this from a six year old post… if you recall the approx. volume of your spray bottle. I have a tiny one and a fairly large one, so I filled the large one halfway with H2O. Would love to know your mesa. for the water.
