Cleaning drawer liners?

[Mike 47]

Spent some time yesterday cleaning up the KRL1001 I recently bought. The drawer liners were pretty dirty. Most of them cleaned up fairly well with warm soapy water and soft bristle brush, they look like new again.

But a few of the liners had a lot of oil spilled on them. I tried the soapy water, then Formula 409, then S100, then 3M wax & grease remover, and even a little brake cleaner. None of it got the oil out. Called Vanguard, and they recommended soapy water.

Anyone got ideas? Oil dri?

Hmm, I have been wondering about the same thing, hopefully someone has some advice. I have some blue kobalt drawer liners which look great when clean but they get dirty fast, and I haven't gotten the oil stains out either. I might give oxiclean, or simple green a try next, see how that goes. Brake clean nearly dissolved part of one when it got hit by mistake, I get carry'd away with that stuff.

Dawn dishwashing liquid

I used palmolive with no success. Dawn that much better?

Fast Orange or an equivalent hand cleaner??? Or possibly tire-cleaner? Westley's Bleach White?? Just thinking out loud.

Yes, Dawn is one of the best grease removers made that won't harm other things. The only thing is it will remove wax as well. Dawn is what oil companies use to clean birds and other animals that are coated with oil.

Ok, I'll give it a shot.

If Dawn don't get it, nothing will.

Tried Dawn this evening, didn't get the oil out. Poured soap right on the oil spot, rubbed it in, and walked away for 10 minutes.

Just hit WallyWorld & buy some of those foam exercise mats...

whatever soap you use, let it soak in a tub instead of just spot treating

Are these the thin foam liners that come with Snappy boxes?

Allright, I'll try that.

Yeah. The liners that didn't get oil spilled on them are really nice
