How to Remove Grease from Kitchen Surfaces

Why Kitchen Grease Builds Up

Cooking releases oils and fats that settle on surfaces over time — stovetops, splashbacks, cabinet fronts, and extractor hoods are the most common culprits. Left untreated, grease hardens and becomes significantly harder to remove.

What You'll Need

• A quality oil and grease remover
• A microfibre cloth or non-scratch sponge
• Warm water
• Gloves (recommended)

Step-by-Step: How to Remove Grease from Kitchen Surfaces

Step 1 — Pre-wipe the surface

Use a dry cloth to remove any loose debris or food particles before applying any product. This prevents spreading residue around.

Step 2 — Apply your grease remover

Spray or apply your Kitchen - Oil & Grease Remover directly onto the greasy surface. For heavy build-up, allow it to sit for 1–2 minutes to break down the grease.

Step 3 — Wipe in circular motions

Using a damp microfibre cloth or sponge, wipe the surface in gentle circular motions. Avoid abrasive scrubbers on delicate surfaces like glass or stainless steel.

Step 4 — Rinse and dry

Wipe down with a clean damp cloth to remove any product residue, then dry with a fresh cloth to prevent streaking.

Tips for Stubborn Grease

• For baked-on grease around the hob, apply the remover and cover with a damp cloth for 5 minutes before wiping.
• Clean extractor hoods monthly to prevent heavy build-up.
• Wipe surfaces after every cooking session to keep maintenance minimal.
