I have a fiberglass laundry tub. I'd like to clean some oven racks and then rinse in my laundry tub. Will Sokoff harm my laundry tub?

If you have quite a bit of water in the tub I think it's okay. Rinse out the tub right away. This is such a great product!!! A little bit of caution is called for but, all in all, it's fairly safe:)

Since it is a lye based solution, do a test spot. I don't believe it will harm a laundry tub,but test! It is an excellent product for removing burnt build up on the outside of pots/oven racks. But brush it on with a chemical resistant brush, by all means, wear rubber gloves for using a chemical (it will eat up regular latex/household gloves) and don't inhale the fumes!. I usually let it sit for a few minutes, than use a wire brush under running water. It really works, just don't get it on skin either.

I would not trust Sokoff on fiberglass. When I recently used Sokoff, I squirted it off my oven racks with a hose outside the house on a concrete patio surrounded by rocks. Sokoff did a poor job of cleaning my oven racks. I had used Sokoff years ago on oven racks in another house and it worked great at that time. It seems to me that the formula was changed. It is still caustic and could possibly harm or etch the finish on fiberglass.

Yes - says for all washing machines including "he" here: http://www.20muleteamlaundry.com/detergent-booster/boost-your-detergent/ One thing to note: we just got a front loading machine. It says to put the powder in with the clothes instead of the detergent tray. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind that. My wife put oxi-clean powder in and there was a hardened ball of it that didn't get broken up so just make sure all your solids are not clumped up when putting into the machine. I just put the borax into the liquid tray with the liquid. Not recommending that. Not discouraging it either. ******One thing: check local prices. My wife informed me that this is less than half at the local grocery store from what I paid here.*******

I am not sure, I've never done it, but think it would be OK. The mesh is very fine. Sometimes I use the strainer to sift gluten free flours and cocoa powder together (brownies, cake ingred.); it is so fine my kosher salt won't always fit through the mesh.

Sorry for the delay but I don't think so. It is very thin and while it may not hurt you, I think you would be better off using a mechanical means of removing the corrosion. I would actually go and get a couple of grades of steel wool and see which one works the best at physical removal or the rust and corrosion. If you have some tiny little areas you want to clean, that you cannot reach with steel wool, I would use a brass or stainless brush in my Dremmel Tool (make sure you wear safety glasses particularly if working in the oven). Problem is of course is that with your continued use of oven cleaner, those area that have already corroded, will begin to corrode again once new oven cleaner is applied. If faced with this problem, I would leave the oven cleaner on just long enough to soften grease and crud, and then well wash your shelves and oven walls, and DRY EVERYTHING WELL. Use your wife's hair dryer or heat gun to make sure walls and shelves do not stay "wet" overnight and start to corrode over again. Any product you can find will either burn off, melt, or be too thin to maintain itself unless you can find so type of high temperature silicone grease, which would be found in industrial and commercial baking applications. I have food safe silicone grease for my meat grinder gears where it stays in place perfectly - it of course is not subject to high temperatures found in an oven interior. Don't know if any of this has helped. Let me know if it does and feel free to ask another question.

Just clean it with a soapy sponge, the scrubby side if needed. There is no reason to not use detergent, detergent does not strip seasoning since seasoning is actually polymerized fats. Dry thoroughly before storing. I dry my cast iron in the oven usually at 200 degrees for a couple minutes as I wash other dishes.

Why would you wanna do that? It's ez to clean after a short hot water soak in the sink or folded into a mixing bowl. (see candied bacon review) If you put it in your washing machine you'll need to add a load of clothing "articles" (at risk staining your fabrics with oily residues). Otherwise, it would stick to side of washer and impede the spin-out of water/detergent. Depending on your additives you might leave a film of softeners or other "gunk" that commercial laundry additives leave in clothing. I don't want to be in your kitchen when you bake those onto your food. :)

The racks fit in my dishwasher..I let them sit on the heat until any crumbs or meat left clinging is burnt, then scrub it with a dry wire brush or any heavy bristled work brush. Then I stick it in the dishwasher. I don't do much cleaning between uses in camp, but burning it off and dry brushing it is fine. I often use one of those "flippers" you can buy in grocery stores..works great for most meat cuts and fantastic for salmon or other fish and for hot dogs. That goes in the dishwasher too. As for the heating unit..I just dry brush it..it eventually gets a little rusty, but no food stays on it long.

I know somebody that removed it from fiberglass - they used a plastic paint scrapper - it took some effort but it did not damage it. May be able to use wd40 or some other adhesive remover to make it easier. I have not tried to remove mine yet and I have a porcelain tub.

Pretty sure you can...I don't think there is any dependency between using the salt and using the detergent. I went for awhile without any salt in my dishwasher and the Somat detergent seemed to work just fine.

Yes, just avoid the glass top ovens with this guy. Be sure you clean it well before storing it and don't let it sit in water for too long or it will rust.

I used dish washing detergent to keep the suds down and half as much as I normally do for washing dishes, went thru the entire normal cycle even the drying. I put this on the top rack & not the bottom to prevent the heater from possibly damaging it during the drying cycle

I would be careful and tread lightly with an SOS pad. Probably it wouldn't hurt, especially if you didn't exert a lot of pressure, but if you scratch the surface, that area will always be a sticking point, as well as a place for rust to start. I've never found an SOS to be necessary. I always grease, butter or spray my pan, and if something does stick, I let it soak a little while, then use a plastic scrubber, and it always comes right off. Happy roasting!

Instead of taking mesh off rack take a brush dipped in water and bleach to scrub the mesh. Works quickly and thoroughly.

Negative... clean your whole tub then rinse it out when completed. This is assuming of course that you don't have a whole beachful of sand in your tub.

If you are doing a water bath, no. You will need to cover the outsides with foil. Another tactic I have used is to place a large bowl of water in the rack below my pans (instead of doing a water bath).If you mean leaking batter from the inside out, I have not had any problems with that.

I did..The rack worked great...Use foil in the bottom of the pan it makes for easier clean up ..and beware of washing it in the dishwasher because over time washing it in the dishwasher causes it to rust
