Default I truly am blessed.

We have a jennair cook-top, the kind with the grill inserts.
beneath the heating element there are the faux-rocks-grill metal plates.
regardless of cleaning method it's a bear to get the cooked on yuck off of them.
The +1 hates when I cook that way for that reason.

But I don't have that Y chromosome for nothing.

So it's out into the driveway with ye old trusty Honda 2400 PSI pressure washer and blip crud's gone in an instant.

A little cleanup with the 150 PSI air hose and they're clean as a whistle.

How many guys get to clean up with that kind of power?

I didn't do anything nearly that dramatic, but this past spring I got to scrub about 5 years worth of moss and mildew off of the back and side of my house. Talk about exciting, I got to stand on top of a six foot ladder with a scrubbing brush on the end of a twelve foot extension pole and clean the siding.

Talk about fun, it's clean now, but I can hardly wait the 5 years to do it again.

no no no manual labor is not allowed.
in all seriousness, use a algaecide pretreatment and spray it off with a pressure washer.
just make sure you work from the bottom up so you don't get streaking.

talk to me when you clean your bathroom with the power washer and dry it with the back pack blower

ok so i haven't actually executed that plan.... yet.

the grout is actually more of an issue.
we had a problem with our water softener not removing rust correctly and we got really bad staining.
the elbow grease provided by humble servant did a fairly good job on the tile but not so on the grout which is slightly recessed.

there is some residual and yes I WILL likely use the PC to get to it.
The only reason I haven't done it yet is I don't own a PC buffer.
got lots of other PC tools just not a buffer.( not a wash and wax whacko)
