No Use Crying over Spilled Corn Syrup

I did this with molasses and had to run, when I got home I realized my mistake. I let it too long. I was told to use Salt. I had to use a lot but it make it loose enough to wipe up with towels. Then I put hot water towels on the remainder. It wiped up with lots of force but it was a LONG, hard exercise.

UPDATE: forgot to mention when I finished with the major mess part, that Dish Soap was the best choice in cleaning solutions. As Marda states BLEACH wont do anything but make it stink and hurt your hands.

I suggest hot soapy water and a brush to loosen it up and then wipe it up with towels. I'd try dry towels first. Work from the outside to the inside of the mess so that you don't spread it any further.

I suggest not using bleach. It doesn't have any more cleaning power than detergent and is toxic. Bleach is a disinfectant and you have nothing to disinfect.

I would try bleach....? Hope it helps:)

Maybe comet.

If you can't get it cleaned up, I would put cat littler, flower, or salt so that it's not so slippery.

You need a degreaser type of product I think. I am not sure the exact thing. Go to a home depot or lowes and ask someone. Sorry, I hate when stuff like that happens! I broke a special musical snowglobe my inlaws got for us 2 years ago. They're coming to visit in 2 days. Ugh I feel AWFUL about it. No idea where/how to get the exact replacement...

kitty litter- to help sop it up?
some bleach and a stiff bristled scrub brush?

just guessing though, never experienced this, so I can't say for sure.

my daughter put away a large bottle of corn syrup with the flip lid (not quite closed) upside down on the top shelf of the cupboard. I used hot soapy water and a bucket - it was a mess and took a long time, but I got it!!

have you tried kitty litter or something like that to absorb most of the syrup? I don't really have any other advice. A couple of years ago my little guy got a brand new bottle of pancake syrup out of the cabinet and smeared it all over the kitchen floor... I'm not sure how my hubby got it up though (I was at work! Luckily he grabbed the video camera before cleaning it and the baby up!!) Search youtube for "The great syrup incident" if you want a giggle while cleaning up your Karo syrup!
