Warning: my kimchi brine overflow took 3 days to clean up after I misjudged the headspace in a 2-gallon jar.

I thought a quick wipe would handle it, but the sticky, fermented goop seeped under my counter and required a full disassembly of the cabinet to properly sanitize, so what's your worst cleanup story from a batch gone wrong?

Gosh, I had a similar mess with a kraut batch that exploded overnight. The trick that finally worked for me was hitting the sticky spots with a paste of baking soda and vinegar, letting it sit for a bit before scrubbing. It saved me from having to take anything apart, just a few rounds of that and the smell was gone too.

Ever try to get kombucha smell out of a carpet? That stuff is its own life form.

Spilled some on my couch once and it left a weird stain that never came out. I mean, maybe it's still fermenting in there.
