So I did it.
I began my "toothbrush patrol", and pulled the stove out as far as I could get it (badly laid flooring). I scrubbed the sides of the stove, I scrubbed the cabinets surrounding it. I took the stove top apart and scrubbed that too (and I chose NOT to photograph the years of disgusting -- you're welcome).
As I slid my newly cleaned appliance back towards the wall, I could see some dog hair trapped underneath.
You should know that when we moved into this house, I spent over 12 hours trying to get it "clean enough" to feel comfortable moving my stuff into it. Most of the time was spent in the kitchen. Some of it was spent vacuuming dog hair out of the radiators.
I didn't have time to get the house cleaned to what I prefer to live in, but I figured I'd do that after we got settled.
It's been two months.
And apparently, the vacuum hadn't pulled all of the dog hair out from under the stove. Even having my Husband remove the glass from the stove door to pull dog hair out from between the two panes of glass, hadn't taken away the hair.
So with the stove back in place, I wrapped my gloved fingers around that hair peeking out from under the stove and pulled. and pulled. and pulled.
This is what I got.
The can of beans wasn't under my stove. It was added just to give perspective.
I just hope it's potty trained.

Oh. My. Gawd!!! Wow! Amazing it didn't eat your hand!
ok my friend, that is seriously disgusting!
and you know what? I had NO idea you could take the windows in your oven out and clean in between! I just thought I had to live with it all foggy like that forever!
But I still don't know how to do it. Perhaps you'll have to get your dh to give us all a tutorial that we can pass on to OUR husbands!
NICE BLOG!

Fun to find you ! Looks like our Mr Mutt paid you a visit - I'm sure we clear up at least three dogs-worth of doghairtumbleweeds from the house in a year.....
Thank you for your kind visit and encouraging comments. (Glad you didn't find the dust !)
ew! Now I'm curious abou the second blog. Hum...me s athinking.
Ack! You could knit a new puppy with that. I'm with Tara.. how do you remove the glass from the over door? I was always told it was not possible if you ever wanted to keep a good seal on the oven.
oh, wait. Before you begin hero-worshiping me on my oven cleaning skills (hah, I'm so funny)-- you have to know that my oven is strange. There are two plates of glass nestled up together, it's not like I am pulling glass out of the oven door-- wow, THAT would make me a little freaky, wouldn't it.
Thanks for your comment. And, funny that we have those things in common. Are you in the UK now or is that just on your profile?
Ew! It always the worst moving into a new place and having to deal with someone else's dirt.
OMG, Did the other people have an Old English Sheep dog or what.
I can't imagine what you cleaned before you found this left over hair.
GROSS! That's it you conviced me, when I buy a house it's going to be brand new.
what did the previous owners have... a st bernard?
