How do I use Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner?Updated 7 hours ago
TL;DR: Spray Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner directly onto the greasy surface (or use a Foaming Spray Bottle for thick clinging foam on vertical surfaces). Let it sit 5 to 15 minutes depending on how heavy the buildup is. Scrub with a damp Swedish Dishcloth or Dish Sponge. Rinse thoroughly with clean water (or sponge-rinse for surfaces without a drain). For everyday non-greasy cleaning, Universal Cleaner is the all-rounder.
How do I use Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner?
✓ Spray, wait, scrub, rinse
Spray. Apply Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner directly onto the surface. For vertical surfaces (rangehoods, splashbacks, oven walls), a Foaming Spray Bottle turns it into thick foam that clings rather than drips.
Wait. Let it sit for 5 to 15 minutes depending on the surface and how heavy the buildup is. See soak-time guide below.
Scrub. Scrub with a damp Swedish Dishcloth, Dish Sponge, or Scrubby Pad. Match the scrubber to the surface, soft side for plastic and ceramic-glass, scrubby side for enamel and metal.
Rinse. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. For surfaces without a drain, sponge-rinse with a clean damp cloth until all product residue is removed. Always rinse before food contact.
✓ Recommended tools
A Foaming Spray Bottle for foam application. Swedish Dishcloths or Dish Sponges for everyday cleaning. Scrubby Pads are two-sided, soft side safe on coated surfaces, scrubby side for tougher metal and enamel.
How long should I let it sit?
✓ 3 to 5 minutes
General kitchen surfaces, splashbacks, benchtops, light grease.
✓ 5 minutes
Stovetops, hobs, daily greasy build-up.
✓ 5 to 10 minutes
BBQs, rangehoods, rangehood filters, extractor fans, heavier kitchen build-up.
✓ 10 to 15 minutes
Ovens with tough baked-on grease, oven racks and trays, oven door glass, heavily neglected surfaces.
What about extra tough messes?
✓ Soak longer, don't scrub harder
For oven racks and trays, BBQ grates, roasting tins, and heavily neglected surfaces, longer soak times work better than harder scrubbing. For very heavy buildup, soak the item in warm water with Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner for 30 minutes. Don't let the product fully dry on the surface mid-clean, spray again if it starts drying.
⚠ Match the scrubber to the surface
For tough metal and enamel surfaces, the scrubby side of a Scrubby Pad is fine. Diamond Sponges are aggressive abrasives, only use them on bare metal (oven racks, BBQ grates). Never on coated cookware, ceramic-glass hobs, or stainless steel, they can leave fine scratches.
