My position exactly.



I picked up some LA's Totally Awesome, and oh man does does it work great. You have to have some patience, as it takes about 24 hrs for a good soak; but I have gotten the model 99.9% clean with the stuff. Works especially well on Metals.

I also picked up some LA's Totally Awesome Pine Cleaner, and it works well too. Might have to let it sit a little bit longer though. I picked it up at the same time, because it comes in a jug that is twice as big (64oz) for the same $1.00.


Here is a LA's Totally Awesome store locator. These are most of the stores that carry it.

Also, if you don't live near a Dollar Tree or other place that sells it, you can bulk order it from Dollar Tree. 12 for $12 for the normal stuff, or 6 for $6 for the pine.

I'm pretty sure this stuff is weak, at least compared to something like Pine Sol. I mean, I have to let it set for about 48 hours for it all to come off with the first scrub... I'm pretty sure if I were to 50/50 it, it would take days... I'll try it out though.

I tried diluting normal LATA roughly 50/50, and it only makes it take about a day longer, which is nice imo (i'm in no hurry...). That makes the 1 dollar bottle even that much better! lol.
