The burners on our stove have always been dirty. Scrubbing and oven cleaner did nothing.
So I put them in the sand blasting cabinet, then brushed them with the wire wheel.
I took a lot of pride in this, and enjoyed the satisfaction of finally getting these clean.
But I would bet a case of beer that not one of my teenagers or my wife even bats an eye at the difference if I didn't point it out. Oh well, that was my quarantine project today.
SteveTheEgg
Thank you. I work in a kitchen and have thought that some equipment would need a sand blaster to clean. Now I know it works.
Soufange
Don't worry, I would notice and I would ask you to marry me again.
crochethooker
I'll get you TWO cases of beer if you'd come clean mine!!

I'm an appliance repairman and tbh, those cleaned burners look just like new. Very well done sir

"Honey? Notice anything different about the kitchen today?" "Uh.. you moved the toaster?"
zalurker
Did you enjoy it? Then who cares what they notice. Nice job, btw.
calmdowntoughguy
I'm jealous. I feel the same with my family.

Step 1: HAVE A DEDICATED SANDBLASTING CABINET.

Y'all need to quit hunting for validation and tell your loved ones what you're proud of so they can share it with you.
SleeperSix
Well it wasn't validation, because it was something that bothered only me, and a detail only I would notice.
coffeeliquorwine
I feel like in household settings, no one notices or takes the time to acknowledge the cleaning that was done by someone else.
Muttons1337
It's because they don't have access or know how to use a sand blasting cabinet, so it's just "oh hey, look it's clean again"?
thadickenz
If you want, I can come over with a case of beer, and when you invite me inside, I'll comment that those look incredible for their age/use.
oblimo
Doing God's work there, son.
thadickenz
"Hey, you get a new stove? This one looks brand new! Wow, you cleaned it?! That's amazing! I'd have never guessed it could get so clean."
ReturnoftheZombiePlagueApocalypse
"those look incredible for their age/use." Do you mean, the wife, the teenagers or the cooker?
GodForsakethMe
Yes
ThatWhineInYourEars
Sounds like a vampire over here.
DuchessLuscious
Fuck, I never thought of that; vamp comes baring whisky and Id just invite them right in. Id be like a blood drive van with 4 flat tyres
Trigillia
Oh my god. I would absolutely notice this. Please be my husband.

I replaced the wax ring in my children's toilet. I know the struggle, but not the satisfaction.
wiggadewah
That's not fun to do, +1
looseasamoose
Yet they will still piss on the floor if given the chance
Gunshanks
Was the old one leaking?
Jeff9727
It was GONE! Surprised it had just started.
sometimesifeellikeanut
Take satisfaction in that you've taken preventive measures keeping your toilet leak free
SleeperSix
Yikes. I Think I have one of those on the list.
dafuqsthat
If you're cleaning it for attention. Then you're cleaning it for the wrong reason!
wiggadewah
There's cleaning, but this is more industrial level restoration.
nevernotsure
Paint the top fire engine red. See if they notice
OddOod
Yeah! With some high temp enamel paint!
Etrigan77
I don’t understand how you own a sandblaster and waited this long
SleeperSix
I got it to do freelance rim and brake caliper work, but it's been sitting dormant, I've been so busy with school. And now there's time.
trigonman3
The sandblaster's children have no sand.
wiggadewah
Probably because he's been working until now. Finding all the small things he didn't have time to fix before. I know because I'm doing same.
Tibbs
No protective coating? Your half assing it @OP >;o
SleeperSix
I have a powder coat clear coat, but don't know how hot the burners get, or if it was going to plug the gas holes. :(
Tibbs
google says its up to 500F so about 600F+ fire resist, you can plug the holes up with paper before you paint.
SleeperSix
Actually I might Teflon coat them, now that I've been looking into it.
weetabixwithcoldmilk
Follow up. Did your wife notice? Did you get the chickabowwow
UsuallyARabbit
.
SleeperSix
Yes, she noticed. ? But only after a "Wow, this is really clean what's different?"
weetabixwithcoldmilk
Good. Now you can remind her for the next many years ...
bezobzira
But you have a pile of dishes and stuff all over your living room right?
wiggadewah
....what's your point. ?
bezobzira
Nothing negative, i spent an hour yesterday cleaning a sink drain inside you can maybe see through the bars if you put your head in the sink
bezobzira
But my ironing pile is now a (clean) plate holder, day 5
wiggadewah
We've cleaned out the garage and started a basement remodel, but haven't touched the laundry folding for 2 weeks. Washing necessities only.
