What the h*** is that smell?

[Account Closed]

I've been a landlord for a few years, but have also done other things in life that brought me into peoples homes. For a long time in some homes I've wondered, what is that foul smell? Its not cigarettes or pets or body odor or mildew or even simply dirty people. The smell is disgusting, and I actually ran outside and puked up my breakfast once. I finally figured it out after all these years and the answer turned out to be obvious, its grease.

Every time I get stuck cleaning the sludge, I envision the tenants and their love of grease. I picture them rubbing it all over their bodies. I picture them taking baths in it. Then I picture them falling over dead from a heart attack. If it sticks to the walls like it does, just think what it does to the inside of a body. No wonder the USA is fat and sick. Yuk.

They say you are what you eat, so some people are Crisco.

Anyone have any tips on how to clean grease? Anyone go so far as to disallow the use of it inside the house? Would it be discriminatory to only rent to vegans? LOL.
