Cleaning a OTP table.
« on: August 17, 2015, 08:10:24 PM »
Seems like every drop of grease shows up on the table. Figured Dawn would do the trick, but not so much. I'm sure it's sanitized, but you can still see the spots. How do you guys clean the table, after a cook?

I use a spray bottle with 50/50 water and bleach.  Works for me.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works as well (essentially the same thing) ;)

I use the Dollar Store "Mean Green" and it works great. I just picked up 10 bottles of it he other day.
Wife said "No more GRILLS in this house!" So I bought a 2nd house!

If its grease stains, citrus degreaser is my go to. I use greased lighting from Home Depot. Once its its all clean wipe the table down with mineral oil or baby oil. It does wonders.

Yep , stuff works well and cheap too

I just did a wipe down with 303 after cleaning
With good results ( down side is 303 $$$ & hard to find) seems to give a nice seal coat

Thanks guys! Gonna try a combo of your ideas. Definitely using mineral oil, once it's clean.

Update: So the mean green worked well enough to greatly fade the stains. Used it 10 or so times, letting it sit for about 10 min each time. Treated with mineral oil 5 or 6 times, and the stains are invisible. Thanks guys! One thing, is the table surface is slightly oily. Will that just soak in over the next several days, or is there another step? Thanks for your help guys! She's getting prettier and prettier.

The table is plastic, I don't think oil is ever going to soak in.

I clean mine with simple green and throw the cover back on.

Table looks new; I'd spot "season" the rusty welds next.
Get her really hot & rub some fat or drip some oil around the spots.
Let her cool down before clean-up...
