How to Clean Grease from Kitchen Surfaces

Quick answer

Spray a plant-based multi-surface cleaner directly onto greasy areas, let it sit for 30 seconds, then wipe with a damp microfiber cloth for streak-free results.

How to degrease kitchen surfaces step by step

1. Clear the surface: Remove dishes, appliances, and loose debris so the cleaner can reach the grease directly. Common mistake: spraying over clutter spreads grease rather than removing it.
2. Spray the cleaner: Hold the nozzle 6–8 inches away and apply an even layer of multi-surface cleaner to the greasy area. For concentrate, mix according to the label for heavy-duty use. Checkpoint: avoid oversaturating wood or laminate—damp is enough.
3. Let it sit for 30 seconds: Allow the plant-powered formula to break down the grease. For baked-on grime, wait up to 2 minutes. Common mistake: wiping immediately reduces effectiveness.
4. Wipe with a damp microfiber cloth: Use a clean, damp microfiber cloth in a single direction to lift the grease without redepositing it. Rinse the cloth as needed. Checkpoint: a dry cloth can smear grease instead of absorbing it.
5. Buff dry for a streak-free finish: Use a separate dry microfiber cloth to buff the surface until it shines. This step is key for stainless steel and glass cooktops. Common mistake: skipping the buff leaves visible streaks on dark countertops.
