Is Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner the same as Dishwashing Liquid?Updated 2 days ago

TL;DR: No, they're different products — and worth noting, Universal Dish Spray isn't part of the Koh UK range at all. Dishwashing Liquid is a concentrated formula made for sink-soak or dish wand use. Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner is the foaming sprayer option in the UK range, made for greasy kitchen surfaces (stovetops, rangehoods, oven doors, BBQs, pots, pans, baking trays). Pair with a Foaming Spray Bottle.

Is Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner the same as Dishwashing Liquid?

No. Universal Dish Spray isn't sold in the Koh UK range, so there's no direct UK equivalent to compare it to. The closest comparison in the UK range is Dishwashing Liquid, a concentrated formula made for sink-soak or dish wand use. Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner is a separate product designed specifically for greasy kitchen surfaces (stovetops, rangehoods, oven doors, BBQs, pots, pans, baking trays). For foaming sprayer action in the kitchen, use Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner with a Foaming Spray Bottle. Dermatest tested, septic safe.

How do I use it?

Fill a Foaming Spray Bottle with Koh Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner. Spray foam directly onto the greasy surface (or onto a cloth or mitt for tighter spaces). Let it sit at least 15 minutes for normal grease, longer for heavy buildup. Wipe with a Dish Sponge, Swedish Dishcloth, Scrubby Pad, or Grout Brush for stubborn areas. Rinse thoroughly. For dishes, cookware, and food-contact surfaces, always rinse before next use because Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner is not food-grade.

✓ Spray, wait, wipe, rinse

1

Spray. Fill a Foaming Spray Bottle with Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner. Spray foam directly onto the greasy surface.

2

Wait. Let the foam sit at least 15 minutes for normal grease. Longer (up to 30 minutes) for heavy buildup or baked-on residue.

3

Wipe. Use a Dish Sponge, Swedish Dishcloth, Scrubby Pad, or Grout Brush for stubborn areas. Buff with a clean cloth for streak-free finish.

4

Rinse. For dishes, cookware, and food-contact surfaces, always rinse thoroughly. Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner is not food-grade.

⚠ Spot test delicate surfaces

Safe on most kitchen surfaces, but for delicate materials (some natural stone benchtops, non-stick cookware coatings), spot-test a small hidden area first.
