Worst cleaning jobs

Time to tackle one those really messy cleaning maintenance jobs in the kitchen. Got to dismantle and then clean out all grease build up in & within the extractor fan. Been a while, so I know it’s going to be real messy.
Plus side, I can record the time as cleaning, heavy effort as a lot of scrubbing will be needed despite the chemicals being used.

    I thought this thread was going to be about crime scenes.

    Might still be. No telling what will be found once he dismantles the fan.

    No nasty surprises but as expected it was a messy and long operation of 6hrs duration to dismantle and clean it out. Pretty worn out today.😵😊

    That would make a good TV show. A show about dirty jobs.

    I swore there was a show such as, a while back ago.. hmmm. I don't remember too well.

    This thread reminded me I was going to borrow some instruments from work to clean the hair monsters out of the bathroom drains

    ... reminded me of last year when I was helping a buddy unclog her campers sewage tank drain pipe

    Lesson learned:
    Do not just wear shorts and crocs when unclogging a sewage tank drain pipe

    There was and I think still is a TV show in the UK along the lines of ‘How to tackle’ worst jobs around the house etc. You Tube is also great for advice on how to do things...

    Pour hair remover cream down the drain.
    It just dissolves it all.

    Time to tackle that last and messy job after a BBQ, cleaning it out. Made use of a good tip from a friend to make the job easier, line the drip tray with foil.🤷🏻‍♂️
    Also, a little plug for the cleaning product in the photo ‘Mighty Oven Cleaner,’ as it works real good, have used it before.👍🏼
    Another lovely sunny day 🌤😎for my last day of leave before going back to work tomorrow.😏

    Finally, after a nr 4hr operation, got the BBQ all cleaned. Saved myself £70-100 doing it myself (depending on where you are in the UK).😅😎
    Time for a refreshing shower and then some ‘brunch.’
