I will look into that, thanks alot. Would this be available at a place like Home Depot or Lowes?

Again thanks all for your suggestions

Yep -- Murphy's is available there. And she's right about hot water. Hot water cleans better. Best part -- Murphy's isn't a caustic like TSP, so you don't need to wear gloves.

I buy it - Murphy's - at the Dollar Store or the grocery store.
