Propane stove grate

[Karen]

Any tips on getting the soot/carbon/whatever buildup off of the stainless
steel grate from a propane camping stove? I've been scrubbing, tried
spraying Soil Master, and soaking the grate following a long weekend of
camping, and the oily residue remains. My hands get dirty every time I
touch it. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Karen,

I'm just getting ready to invest in a vapor cleaner. The heat and pressure
of water (created in a boiler) in a mist form creates a wonderful
combination to clean the yuck off the grate of your propane camping stove,
and oven, sanitizing kitchen counters, bathroom, tile, grout, toilet, sealed
hardwood floors, vinyl flooring, shower basin, and if you haven't noticed,
the use is endless!! Vapor uses less water and is different from steam.
And NO CHEMICALS. That part sold me. I hated the fumes from my oven
cleaner and soap scum remover. I just about gag every time I use it.

Do some research and be ready to spend over $200 for your system (get a good
one! The good ones are over $300.) I am going to dip $700 for mine to help
me with my cleaning business.

That or you can spray an oven cleaner and let it soak. Use a wool pad (but
it's scrubbing, I tell you! I'm done with that.)

Good luck!
