Do I need to rinse after using Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner?Updated 14 hours ago

Yes. Always rinse Koh Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner with clean water after cleaning. It's safe for food prep surfaces (kitchen benchtops, splashbacks, chopping boards) after a thorough rinse, but Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner is not food-grade itself, so direct food contact should be avoided. Method on benchtops and surfaces near a sink: spray, scrub with a Dish Sponge or Swedish Dishcloth, rinse thoroughly with clean water before preparing food. Method on surfaces without a drain (ovens, rangehoods, BBQs): wet a clean Dish Sponge or Swedish Dishcloth with clean water, wipe the surface down until all product residue is removed, then dry-buff with a clean cloth for a streak-free finish.

Two reasons. First, food safety: Koh Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner is safe for food prep surfaces but is not food-grade itself, which means direct contact with food should be avoided. Rinsing with clean water removes any product residue and means the surface is ready for food prep. Second, finish: leftover product residue can dry on the surface and leave streaks or a hazy finish, especially on stainless steel and glass. Rinsing prevents that. The rinse step is part of the standard usage method, not an optional extra.
