Help with cleaning cooking grease out of truck bed.

Was cleaning out my garage and one of the items I put in my truck to haul away was a deep fryer. It tipped over and covered my bed with a layer of cooking grease that I didn't notice until later. It congealed and stuck to the liner. Any advice on how to get the stuff off? I have tried the "bubble brush" at a local do it yourself carwash, dish soap, and lightning degreaser. None have seemed to work.

 

Try Dawn dish detergent or break clean.

 

Maybe a good engine degreaser?

Edit: jk see you mentioned that.

 

Maybe you should find someone with a commercial pressure washer that sprays super hot water like a Landis pressure washer....

 

Take it to an auto body shop or a detailers place and get their advice. You want something strong enough to cut the grease without ruining the truck.

 

Yep, Dawn. Cleans crude oil off baby birds and unclogs shower drains.

 

If nothing else works maybe take liner out
Tilt up and let sit in the sun pm

 

I'll bite, what kind of liner?

Carpet:
Try to steam clean it. If that fails, rip it out and throw it away as it's ruined and not worth the effort to repair.

Toyota Rubber Mat/Liner
Remove it, roll it up and tie it. Find a cheap tub and let it soak for a week in diluted de-greaser. If that fails, throw it away and replace.

Plastic Bed:
Take a puddy knife and scrape the majority of it off, then let it soak (in the shade if high temps) with diluted de-greaser. Then scrub it, scrub it some moar, then scrub that scrubbing...

These are just what I would try. No clue if any would work though.
Good luck OP.

 

Dawn and a lot of hot water

 

We don’t have a liner on the 2005+ Tacoma’s. The entire bed is a composite material. Pretty neat. When I first bought mine I thought it was a liner as well.

 

Spray Nine and a power washer

 

Did anybody suggest Dawn Dish Soap yet?

 

I meant composite liner
how hard are they to take out
Only do this as last resort

 

Brake Kleen. Spray on, brush, wipe off. Repeat

 

Hot water and dawn

 

It's one of those gritty spray on type liners

 

What you want is spray on oven cleaner.
I've used it to clean heavy accumulations of grease from commercial kitchen equipment, grease so nasty nothing else would touch it.

 

Simple Green or Purple Power. Spray, let it soak, pressure wash out.

 

ammonia and water

or lye and water

neither will damage the bed, and both will get the grease off in a hurry

do not mix either one with anything other than water, and rinse the hell outta
the truck afterward

 

It's not a liner. it's the bed of the truck. they dont come out unless you want to disassemble the entire bed and take it off the frame.
