Will windshield washer fluid be the canary in the coal mine? Check it out! Does your auto parts store have any?

If you live where it gets much below freezing in the winter, you should always keep a couple of gallons on hand. In the event the power goes out and you have no alternate heat source, or an insufficient one, the drain traps and toilet bowl, which always have water in them, could freeze and be severely damaged or destroyed as the water expands. Windshield washer fluid poured into the traps and toilet bowl will lower the freezing point of the water, saving your plumbing.

Of course, a I’m just one of those horrible, worthless AC’s that should be banned, so you probably should dismiss whatever I have to say on general principle.

Hhmm. Interesting, OP. My product experience is Easy Off oven cleaner. I've been attempting to purchase it all year in Hou, and the only place I can catch even an off brand can is at a Dollar Store.

It's bizarre.

Have you tried lining the inside of the oven with aluminum foil? That shizz is toxic

Ha! I'm not using it for the oven, which is self-clean.

I found a great cast iron dutch oven sitting in a garage and covered with about 60+ years of rust and old food gunk. Soaking in a vinegar bath didn't do the trick, so I want to try the oven cleaner method.

Any ideas on cleaning crusted, rusted cast iron?
