I've just moved into a flat and decided that I'd better give the kitchen a once over as it looked like whoever cleaned it last hadn't been too thorough. I was disappointed to find that all the cupboard handles, far from being fairly clean (which they looked), were all grubby and tacky. Soapy water & a scrubby sponge seems to have worked on them. But the cooker...eugh! It looks ok, but all the knobs to turn on/off the various parts of it are horribly sticky. I've wiped them off 3 times with warm soapy water to no effect. Doesn't help that the smaller knobs are serrated and the congealed fat seems to be lurking in hidden reservoirs there. Yeuch!!!!

Should I go for biological detergent (wearing gloves)? Or does anyone have better suggestions? (Apart from asking the landlord whether the previous tenant died from a lard-induced coronary.)

Do what I do once every year. Pay someone else to do it. But then I am lasy.

incidentally, when I purchased my flat, one of the conditions in the contract, was that the falt had to be free from all old furniture and clean.

if its not clean, send the seller a bill through the solicitors. I did this and I got over a £100 back as I had to dispose of an old washing machine, and remove a load of old crap that had been left in the loft space. Took me the best part of a day to do it as well.
