A bottle of vegetable oil leaked over a shelf in a kitchen cabinet. What is the best way to remove it?

Answer 1

Pinesol, but I would definetaly recommend lemon juice. Lemon juice not only cleans and dissolves greasy oils, but also freshens things with the scent. Try that out, and next time I think you should put a cap tightly on the oil. Anyways, using lemons is also the cheapest way to go. Pinesol can cost up to 4 bucks here in ohio, and a lemon is 50 cents. Try my way, and good luck!

Answer 2

I broke a bottle of olive oil on the tiled kitchen floor. Wow, I didn't know so much oil could fit into that bottle. Anyway, I poured a couple of boxes of baking soda on it. This stopped the spreading and turned the mess into a more manageable gob. I wiped that up with close to a million paper towels and newspapers. Next I sprayed the area with undiluted "simple green" and used very hot water to wipe it down several times. It was time consuming, but I had a sparkling clean floor that wasn't not at all slippery from the oil and there was no odor. It just takes patience. And sometimes alot of swearing.
