Tackle It Tuesday Meme

Well for today's Tackle it Tuesday I am being really raw. I can't believe I am going to show this. I love to cook, I don't mind cleaning up....but I hate to clean my stovetop. I think part of it is because it is gas and I am afraid of what type of cleaner I can use. Part of it is I always get called away to do something else, but the biggest part is I just don't like too. So here is the ugly truth...please don't think too badly of me.

I don't know if you have one particular burner you like to cook from, I do. Of course it is the one that gets the nastiest. Gross!


Now lest you think too badly of me, I do wipe up every night after I cook. But I don't scrub. This burner is particularly bad because my son spilt some tomato soup on the burner.

After almost an hour of soaking in bleach water the gray covers were very easy to scrub. I used a combination of soft scrub, sos pads, hot water and a knife to scrape the cooktop. It looks amazingly better. I did have another shot of just the burner, but for some reason Blogger won't let me post.

Please scroll down and look at my curtains. They were last week's tackle. I got them finished!

How nice, Julie! A clean stovetop is a must-have! ;-)

I forgot today was Tuesday and didn't even THINK about completing a Tackle! How about you remind me to do a Tackle, and I'll remind you to water your plants.

Love,
Becca

Think awful of you? I think you're great! I purposefully didn't post my pics of my awful stove or oven (which I did for last week's TT). Your stove looks lovely! Thank you for baring all. Great tackle!

Ahhh ... a job well done! Doesn't it feel great? I promise I won't think badly of you because I'd never, ever post a picture of my oven.

Your stove looks as good as new now.
