Can I use Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner in the microwave or on appliances?Updated 7 hours ago

TL;DR: Yes. Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner is safe for microwaves, stovetops, rangehoods, ovens, and BBQs. The formula is fine across these surfaces (pH 8.5, no abrasive particles); the variable is the scrubbing tool. Match the scrubber to the surface, gentle on plastic and ceramic-glass interiors, scrubbier on enamel and metal. Always sponge-rinse thoroughly with a damp Dish Sponge or Swedish Dishcloth after cleaning, since appliances don't drain.

Can I use Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner in the microwave or on appliances?

Yes. Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner is safe for microwaves, stovetops, rangehoods, ovens, and BBQs. The formula is mildly alkaline at pH 8.5 with no abrasive particles, so it won't damage these surfaces. Method: spray, let it sit for a few minutes, scrub with the right tool for the surface, then sponge-rinse thoroughly with a damp Dish Sponge or Swedish Dishcloth until all product residue is removed. Appliances don't drain, so leftover product needs to be wiped off manually before next use. Scrubber choice depends on the surface, soft cloth or sponge soft side for plastic microwave interiors and ceramic-glass hobs, Scrubby Pad soft side for everyday cleaning, scrubby side with light pressure for enamel oven interiors and metal BBQ grills.

⚠ Always sponge-rinse after use

2

Wipe the surface thoroughly, rinsing and re-wetting as you go.

3

Sponge-rinse Remove all residue Dry before use

Are some appliances more sensitive than others?

Yes. The formula is fine across all common kitchen appliances, but the right scrubbing tool depends on the surface. Microwave interiors are usually plastic or painted metal, use a soft cloth or the soft side of a Dish Sponge or Scrubby Pad only, never the scrubby side. Ceramic-glass and induction hobs scratch easily, soft cloth or sponge soft side only, no scrubby side. Gas hobs with cast iron grates and enamel top, Scrubby Pad scrubby side is fine here, the surfaces are tough. Stainless steel rangehoods and oven exteriors, soft cloth, then dry-buff for streak-free finish. Enamel oven interiors and metal BBQ grills, Scrubby Pad scrubby side fine for tough grease. For self-cleaning or pyrolytic oven interiors, check the manual first because some manufacturers specify cleaner restrictions. Always rinse thoroughly because appliances don't drain.

✓ Soft side only

Microwave interiors (plastic or painted), ceramic-glass hobs, and induction hobs. Soft cloth or the soft side of a Dish Sponge or Scrubby Pad only. Scrubby side risks scratching.

Soft cloth Sponge soft side

✓ Scrubby side OK

Gas hobs (cast iron grates, enamel top), enamel oven interiors, oven racks and trays, BBQ grills. The Scrubby Pad scrubby side is fine here. Light pressure on enamel.

Scrubby side OK Light pressure on enamel

⚠ Check the manual

For self-cleaning or pyrolytic oven interiors, check the manufacturer's manual first. Some specify cleaner restrictions because the catalytic or pyrolytic coating has specific care requirements.
