You already know what they say about moving house. It always looks that you have more things than you remember when you have to place it all into a truck and drive it away. When I first moved into my small house, it only took me one trip, and I was done . Only three years later, it took me two trips in my ten food U-Haul and about twelve trips in my brother-in-law's truck; I still had enough junk to fill and entire dumpster. How did I get so much junk over the past three years? I didn't go to cheap furniture stores or garage sales constantly. It is just amazing how clutter seems to multiply.
After all that tough work, there is still all the cleaning I had to do in order to get back my security deposit back. There are the grease stains on the rug from your bicycle, those minor holes in the wall that need spackling, windows with mildew, a bathroom with even more mildew, And then there is the range top of the stove. Oh, please do not even let me get started on those drip pans caked with three years of accumulated grease and grime.
My hypothesis on ovens was that they are all kind of 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? How wrong was I? I know the truth, the longer you leave those little drip catchers without cleaning them, the more hopeless it is to clean them. I even tried to soak them in the strongest degreaser I could find at the time, and left them soak for over 8 hours. I did benefit a little bit, but not the amount I was hoping for. It only took about half the grease off. I really should just have bought new ones.
