Shoutout to crews using plant-based creosote removers

That vinegar and baking soda trick @abbyfoster mentioned is solid for drains. For other messes, a paste of baking soda and a little water works on greasy stove tops and oven grime. Just scrub it on and wipe clean. For stuck-on labels or sticky stuff, plain cooking oil breaks it down without harsh fumes. It's surprising how much you can clean with stuff already in the pantry.
