This stove has never cooked a meal, nor baked a cake or a piece of meat; yet it had to undergo major cleaning yesterday.
At first, none of the regular cleaning agents got the job done. Only the power wash would do.
And so, as Edwin Rollock rid his home of the layers of mud, he had no choice but to hose down his brand new stove, filled with silt, in the wake of Tuesday’s flooding that affected his Gills Terrace, St Peter place and others in the parish and in St Lucy. Rollock said even the gas bottle was washed away in the water.
