DiverseyBreak-Up Professional Oven & Grill Cleaner 1 Can

I depend heavily on consumer ratings from individuals on Amazon, so I don’t always do my part to support the community with my ratings. Some products, like screw drivers, hooks, etc., are difficult to provide an in-depth rating; that is, it either works or it doesn’t. Very rarely do I find a product that just blows me away. Let me regress for a second. Whenever I am looking for a product on Amazon, I almost always look at the consumer ratings. Initially, I do not critically review the ratings, I just look at the ratio between the 5s and the 1s. If the number of 5s relative to the 1s is high, I assume the product is decent. If the ratio is low, if still interested in the product, I will delve a little deeper.Until I purchased Diversey Oven and Grill Cleaner, I had tried a bunch of other products. Easy Off, Goo Gone Grill Cleaner, Zep Heavy-Duty Oven and Grill Cleaner, Carbona 2-in-1 Oven Rack and Grill Cleaner. Simple Green, carburetor cleaner, as well as some DIY concoctions. All these did alright; however, I would end up going through most of the can before the grill and grate were clean. The only product that I felt did a very good job, and much better than the products listed, was Carbon-Off Aerosol. The product is very expensive, so Only when I really need it do I splurge and buy it.Fast forward to yesterday. I have a portable stainless-steel grill from Cuisinart that I cleaned about a month ago. The carbon was baked on. I sprayed it down with Easy Off, but it only made a small dent in the carbon. I ended up having to take the grill apart and cleaning what I could and soaking smaller parts in a vinegar solution to loosen up the remaining carbon. I used Carbon-Off on hard to clean areas. It was a two-day ordeal, working on the grill a couple hours here and there.So yesterday, I decided the grill was needing another cleaning, so I sprayed the grill with Easy Off and allowed it to soak for about 8 hours. I tried removing the baked-on carbon using a wire brush, but it just didn’t do a very good job. The Easy Off had dried and was no longer effective. I had just received a box from Amazon containing the Diversey Oven and Grill Cleaner. I had purchased the product, which I had never heard of before, based on an online review from an organization I can’t even remember the name.That evening, I sprayed the grill with enough Diversey Oven and Grill Cleaner to cover the grate and other parts of the grill with a thick layer of the product. When I sprayed the grill, it appeared to have a bubbling action. I forgot about the grill until 12 hours later and was worried that the product would have dried like Easy Off. It hadn’t. It was still very moist. I took a rag (not a wire brush) and the carbon just wiped off. I was amazed. I had never seen a product work as well as this one did. I sprayed the underside of the grate and other parts of the grill and let it soak for about four hours, and I got the same results. Incredible. Granted, there are still areas that will need a heavier cleaning, not that many. Also, while some of the caked-on grease was not removed the first time, it was not hard and dry, which has been the results from other cleaners. I am thoroughly impressed with the product and was in awe during the whole cleaning process. I can’t say enough positive things about it.I decided to go back to the reviews for the product. I didn’t have to read the 5s, since I knew exactly what was conveyed. I reviewed the 1s, since I could not believe anyone would be that dissatisfied with the product. Consumers that rated the product a 1 did so because they couldn’t remove the top of the container. In their defense, the cap was difficult to remove, almost impossible; however, I reread the top of the cap, and realized that you needed to press the sides of the cap and turn. Once I did that, I could remove the cap easily with my weaker had. Some commented on the odor. The odor is strong but no stronger than Easy Off. I can’t understand how someone could rate a product a 1 because of their inability to remove the top. My suggestion is to remove the top with any means possible and do not put it back on. I have numerous paint cans without tops. I lose them all the time. Plus, the top has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the product. I assume that people just don’t care how a 1 rating for purchasing a product with an extremely tight-fitting cap impacts the manufacturer. Some commented that the product didn’t work as well as others, such as Easy Off. I don’t know what they were doing wrong, since this product is way more effective than others that I have tried. My suggestion would be to let it set for 4-6 hours for grills with heavy, baked-on grease and carbon. Don’t worry that the product will dry up, since that did not happen to me. I think you will be more than satisfied with the product, unless, of course, you can’t remove the cap.

I was in shock at how well this product worked. It removed tough grease stains that I was unable to remove with other cleaners.Works almost immediately and does not have a strong smell. Highly recommend. You’ll be happy you bought it.

Removes layers of black grease residue in barbeque grills. Absolute best product I have ever used to clean a grill. I highly recommend this product.

This works really good on burnt on oven grease you do have to use a little muscle.

I applied the spray and left it for about 3 hrs. The glass on the door has only been cleaned once since I bought the stove. Very hard cooked on grease on the door glass was totally removed fairly easily. After getting the first layer of grease off I did have to scrub the baked on grease and use a plastic scraper tomget it all. But it came off beautifully there and on the inside of the oven where I could reach. There is a slight smell when first using the oven until it burned off. Otherwise after applying the spray, there was no fumes or smell. Very happy with this product and now cleaning the oven will get done more often because of the ease of use. Also, I am a 72 yr old woman so it is not always easy to get on my hands and knees to clean. Much better than store bought oven cleaner. Some reviews mentioned they had cans without much propellant in them. Be sure to shake vigorously before using to get the chemicals well mixed. Imhad no problem with the propellant not working
