Crystallized Maple syrup cleaning

Does anyone have a tip on how to clean hardened maple syrup from my lazy Susan? It's as hard as a rock and so far 409 or vinegar spray hasn't done a thing. Thanks in advance!!

I would saturate some old rags or papertowels with warm water and lay them on top of the lazy susan--I think you are going to have to soak it off....

+1 You're going to have to penetrate the hard shell that has formed over time. It won't come off in a short time either. Looks like it will be a soak, soak, soak..... Good luck.

Mean Green should work on that IF nothing else does. First tho..I would pull on some rubber gloves, stugg some old flannel sheets OR towels under the lazy susan and get a pail with some very, very hot water and small hand towels, dip them in the hot water and lay on top of the hardened strup. Might hafta do it a few times and it is a messy job but ya want it "gone:, right?

I use Awesome on almost everything....but my favorite is 409 cleaner for most jobs. Try soaking a hand towel in cleaner and let it sit for a while. wring out and replace until it is soft.

put some warm water on it and sprinkle a healthy amount of cascade dishwashing powder on it. Let it sit over night and it should come right off - that's what I do with food stuck to pots and pans too.

An overnight soak in hydrogen peroxide and baking soda magically clears my burnt on pans. I've never tried it with syrup but that might be worth a try.

Would heating it with a hair dryer liquefy it again so it can be cleaned up? Boiling water will remove honey from a spoon or spillage down the side of the honey jar or counter top. I think this needs heat to remove it rather than strong chemicals.

Agree with all.. I would lay soaking wet cloths on the area and leave it to soak.

Goo Gone. Works good for anything sticky! You can find it in any hardware store.

Just a thought but my favorite product I stand behind 100% is AWESOME from the Dollar Tree or Dollar General stores. Spray on full strength let sit for a couple minutes and wipe off.
