Getting Grease Stains Out Of Performer "Plastic" Table?

[Fishawn]

My workhorse, ugly Brick Red Performer.... Cook on it a lot, and the table gets used for everything patio cooking oriented. Table looks like sh!t from friends cutting meat on it (WTF?) and grease, etc. from whatever...... Anybody have any ideas on getting out grease stains and or "plastic" table restoration or clean up?


Thanks!

I would be tempted to replace it with wood or countertop material.

But if you're just looking to clean it up real well, try baking soda and a wet rag.

If that doesn't do the trick, I know hydrogen peroxide and oxy clean have been found to turn yellowed plastics white again... Not sure if it would bleach your plastic, though. Here's one writeup I found with helpful comments: http://forum.make-the-cut.com/discussion/17229/miracle-plastic-whitening-formula-i-kid-you-not-long

If you go the baking soda route, spread it on and then pour some white vinegar on it. The reaction will bubble and "sizzle" and help clean and can be hosed off. Might start with that to remove the cruft before hitting it with a Mr. Clean eraser to get deeper.

Hehehe....I'm pretty sure that this is what killed the grass that day.
Wifey was not happy.

Weber recommends dish detergent and I've read where some will remove the table and soak it in warm water/detergent.
For a tub one guy used a Rubbermaid container or a 2x4 frame with plastic liner would work too.
Dish detergent seems to be OK on the grass.

Comet cleanser has bleach in it...you can make a paste with it and let it sit for a while.
Then scrub with it.

I was flipping a lot of gassers last summer and cleaning the plastic tables was high on the priority list.  Here's what I found wooked really well.  You'll need a container large enough to soak the table in.  I have a big Rubbermaid tote that works fine.  Fill the container with water (hot is best, but cold garden hose water also worked) and a healthy dose of Dawn dishwashing detergent.  Now, the hard part.  Nothing.  Let it soak overnight.  The following day, use whatever scrubbie you like and it'll clean up like new.  This method hasn't failed me yet.

Dawn is one of those products for which I am brand loyal.  In particular, blue dawn really works well.
