The Ultimate Guide to Cleaning Kitchen Grease

Grease is the hidden villain of every kitchen. It splatters while cooking, sticks to surfaces, collects dust, and becomes harder to clean the longer it sits. The good news? With the right tools and methods, even the toughest grease doesn’t stand a chance. 🍳✨

🟡 Why Grease Is So Hard to Clean

Grease is a combination of oil + heat + airborne particles. When it cools, it becomes a sticky film that clings to:

• Stove tops
• Backsplashes
• Cabinets
• Microwave hoods
• Oven doors

The longer it stays, the harder it becomes to remove — unless you use the right technique.

🧴 Step 1: Pre-Soften the Grease

Spray a degreasing cleaner or warm soapy water and let it sit for 2–5 minutes. This breaks the grease bond and makes cleaning effortless.

🧽 Step 2: Use the Right Tools

• Microfiber cloth: traps oily residue
• Scrubber sponge: removes thick buildup
• Soft-bristle brush: perfect for grooves and knobs

🥄 Step 3: Natural Degreasing Options

If you want a chemical-free method:

• Baking soda + warm water — gentle scrub for stovetops
• Lemon juice — cuts grease naturally
• Vinegar spray — melts grease film
