    Great work, Karen! Sometimes when things have been around for awhile we become blind to them. There are a few (ahem) similar cupboards in our home I need to poke around in as well.

    For any pot with carbonised food just cover the food with water, add a generous amount of salt and boil it up. You will see the salt start to lift the particles of carbon. Wash and scrub the pan, if needed then just repeat. I'm embarrassed to admit to needing to do this a few times.

    You could try to make a paste made from baking soda and water and apply it to stuck on food, let soak, then use white vinegar on a scrubbing sponge to foam off and loosen up. Another cleaner that might work is a mixture of vinegar and cream of tartar mixed to a thin paste and applied, let soak for awhile, scrub with a scrubbing sponge works for broiler pans, oven windows, casserole dishes etc.

    Ha, yes relaxing! Difficult in one's own home sometimes, when chores come a zooming out of the woodwork! Quite understood this vibe - I've never managed ( quite) the voluntary ignoring of visable things, let alone the hidden ones! 😂

    Hi Karen, love your videos. Just a thought, I find bicarbonate of soda works brilliantly. Nearly fill your slow cooker dish with hot water and top up with boiling water and sprinkle the bicarb into the water. The bicarb with fizzle up, leave it until it stops fizzing, probably approx half and hour. It will be alot easier to clean. It may take 2 goes . Please let us know in a video if it works 😊 x

    Have a go with biological washing powder or liquid and pour freshly boiled water from the kettle into the slow cooker pot leave overnight. It should soften the burnt bits enough to wash them out. Good luck.

      Worth a try - it has worked for me in the past - presume it is the enzymes.

    Always fun to look in cupboards you haven't looked for years. I did some tidying of my grandma's pantry when I was about 14. Found some tins with BBEs that were before I was born.

    Fill the slow cooker to above the stuck on pudding with hot water and add some baking soda.. a good amount. Mix well. Add a tad of dish washing liquid. Put the cooker on low and leave it for several hours, checking the residue periodically. It may need to be turned on high for a while depending on the amount of pudding in it. I've done this many times and it does work. Good luck!

      Also if you have a Poundland near you, slow cooker liners, 5 for a pound, straight to the bin, little clean up, done.
      I forgot to say also when you said about Scentsy if you have a Home Bargains Wickford wax melts, about a pound for 8 , are very good x

    Don't think I even have any microfiber cloths, but I have enough plastic grocery bags to make up for that. The good thing is that the bags really are handy to line trash cans with and to bag up extra trash in at the end of the week.

    Try sodium bicarbonate. Make it into a paste and leave it on overnight, then wash off in the morning. Or you could sprinkle the powder on then wet with high strength white vinegar. E.g. 60 percent. It should fizz up, which should help loosen your clumps 😊

    Try cheap nasty cola with white vinager. Fill the bowl with cola, add 1 capful of white vinager, put either foil or cling wrap over top, leave overnight. Hope that may help 😊

    I have a guaranteed solution, but you need to make sure you do it with care and with heavy gloves: Sodium Hydroxide - Pure - Food Grade (Caustic Soda, Lye). First thoroughly wet the caked on crud, sprinkle the sodium hydroxide on there. Let sit where no one will accidentally touch it. After an hour or so, rinse until everything is clean. Works like a charm.

    I finally decided to hire a closet company to put in decent shelving in our small kitchen. Our kitchen was styled in 1950. Im sure nobody worried about maintaining a full pantry because there aren’t many shelves, no closet and one small pantry. Not much counter-space either. How did they cook!?! My DIY shelving has got to go!

    Karen is it possible you could be a hoarder? If you have cupboards you've not looked at in years and "found" more tubs of sugar...
    Why do you even empty the bags of sugar into the tubs and mylar bags anyway?! If you only use it in your tea, and let's be realistic, you don't do loads of baking, surely a couple of kilos in the bag they're sold in is plenty to have in store?

    I think we just do what we can do, when we can do it! Oftentimes the motivation comes when we've given ourselves permission to take some time not doing jobs. That seems to lift the pressure from our minds to such an extent that we then feel like tackling some job that had previously overwhelmed us. It's how it works for me anyway. Is it reverse psychology?

    Now you know why my decorating is taking so long... I get distracted by stuff just like this... My go to for stubborn stains... Baking Soda and dishsoap and vinegar... Make up a paste of dish soap and baking powder and use a scrubby sponge to apply liberally all over the stuff you need to shift, then cover with a layer of kitchen roll, just one later is sufficient, so it lays over the paste and gently dab it down, so it's stuck... then just pour a little vinegar all over the paper... less is more... If you have a little squirty bottle you can use, even better... You will see the paste foam up under the paper... Don't do anything, just shove an old plastic bag or cling film over the paper to stop it drying out and leave to steep overnight... Now it works brilliant on proper burnt on oven pans and casserole dishes so it's worth a go on this... Next day, remove plastic, use the paper to remove what you can, this is where you can use a bit more baking soda and dishsoap and a decent scrubby... If it's as bad as you say, it could take several attempts to break it down... You could try pure neat vinegar and leave to soak but it would work out expensive so I'd persevere and go with my first option... Very last option WD40... Same as above, you might need to spray it on and cover it so it stays put, but that baby cuts through anything... ask Patrick x lol x Good luck xxx

    Try a fabric softener sheet and boiling water. Let it sit until it is just warm, not cold, and scrub with the baking soda like others have said. (If not a sheet, then half a capful of liquid.)

    If you soak it in vinegar 6% a couple if days it will come off. No need for stronger chemicals. You could try vinegar and bikarbonate as well .

    I hope some of the carbon cleaning suggestions work for you. But sometimes it can be better to just let it go. Maybe just replace the insert that has all that stuck material on it, if that is the case. Or maybe just toss out that whole thing and buy a new one. I'm hugely enthusiastic about reusing things, cleaning them as necessary, but sometimes it's just better to get a new one and get rid of the old one.
