Free Kitchen Degreaser

This one may not work for everyone. It just so happens that I lease my dishwasher. In the lease agreement I am provided free chemicals for the machine. The detergent, a dark reddish highly alkaline solution is the bee's knees when it comes to cleaning grease. This stuff is highly concentrated and will burn if you get it anywhere on you body. It is specifically designed to strip viscous oily slop from the plates of every greasy spoon in the country when highly diluted. So, how are those hood vents looking? Been a while hasn't it? Just pull them down and literally paint this stuff on them. Yes, with a paintbrush. After they've soaked for a few minutes just run them through the dishwasher.
