Do I need Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner if I already have Universal Cleaner?

If you cook regularly with oil, roast often, or have stovetop, oven, rangehood, or BBQ grease build-up, yes. Universal Cleaner is the everyday whole-home workhorse and handles light kitchen grease on benchtops and surfaces. Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner is built for the heavier kitchen jobs Universal Cleaner doesn't fully shift, baked-on residue, oven and rangehood build-up, BBQ grates, roasting tins, oily stovetop spills.

When should I reach for Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner specifically?

Reach for Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner when grease or baked-on residue is the specific problem and Universal Cleaner alone isn't shifting it. Common scenarios: an oven or rangehood that hasn't been cleaned for a while, BBQ grates after a season of use, a roasting tin with crusted-on fat, an oily stovetop after frying, splashbacks behind a wok burner, the oil ring on the wall behind a deep fryer, baked-on grease on oven racks and trays, the inside of an extractor fan or rangehood filter. For light daily kitchen grease (a wipe-down after dinner, a fresh spill on the benchtop), Universal Cleaner is fine and more efficient. The two products complement each other, they don't replace each other.
