If it is, I think I know what.Must be oil stain, very thick caused by long term cooking. Never clean after cooking becomes sticky after awhile. While cleaning it with cloth, you will see sticky black stain.Tio Bo??? Edited June 5, 2012 by jass2112 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoo8899 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2012 When your skin is dirty or when you sweat, you rub your skin and those dead cells will appear in grey-black colour, aparently I don't know what it was called in English, Hokkien peoples call it laki, just to describe how dirty my window grills are. Jass, th kitchen one is totally 100% hopeless, and that why it cost me $280 to change it. All the rest of windows are dirty, with very thick stains, I really donno what is the easier way to clean besides rubbing with "cow-power", I saw some people recommend vesaline and zippo, but just think that it can't be help for my case. Anyway brasso and autosol solve the problems, but slowly.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
