Nextdoor Karens want household tips.

and I am afraid to tell them that if you can blow out all the pilot lights you can get all of the grease off of the floor by mopping it with gasoline.

We did that once in a trailer. We had butchered an elk and two deer in the kitchen once and the floor got all nasty with fat, meat chunks and all the nastiness that went with the operation.

It was a colossal mess as you can imagine when four or five guys attack a dead animal with knives, saws and various power tools.

We actually scraped the floor with sheetrock taping knives and then mopped with gasoline and then left all the doors and windows open for a couple of days and slept elsewhere. 

When everything was dry there was still a light touch of gasoline  odor but a re-mopping with a heavy Pine Sol blend got rid of that.   

For some reason I do not think Karen is ready for that one.

One of the things that Karen never fails to understand is that when guys try and get things done they attack it with a different attitude. They simply get it done.

Anyone that's ever attended a GI party or a field day know that nobody is particularly concerned about how mild or smooth a cleaning agent is. They only care about how good it cleans the thing or surface in question. 

Women generally worry about how good it smells or how organic or whatever the current fad that it is.

Actually a lot of Karens could learn from guys that have lived like that. As a merchie we use Zep degreaser for practically everything and while Karen would be appalled to see guys mopping the floor with something generally used to clean oil and grease off of engines, she would marvel at how sparkling clean the living areas of a merchant vessel are.
