Are you having trouble removing grease from your stove top or other kitchen appliances? Dried oil can be very difficult to remove, and sometimes even the strongest commercial household cleaners can’t cut the grease. Sometimes the more you try to remove a sticky, greasy film, the stickier it becomes.

There are home remedies that cut dried cooking oil with minimal work, and these home remedies cost far less than store-bought cleaners and degreaser products. If your stove or other kitchen appliances are coated with dried grease, try the following home remedies to dissolve the oil and clean your appliances. You’ll save a great deal of time and money, and removing the grease will take just a little bit of elbow grease and a helpful home remedy.

The Power of Vinegar

White vinegar is a great home remedy for removing the sticky, greasy residue from stove tops and other kitchen appliances. Simply pour white vinegar into a spray bottle, and spray straight vinegar on the sticky, greasy mess. Allow the vinegar to soak in for a few minutes, and wipe away the mess with a dishcloth or heavy duty paper towel saturated with hot water. A plastic or non abrasive scrubber is also very effective when removing kitchen grease.

Grease Dissolving Dishwashing Liquid

If your stove or other kitchen appliances are spattered with dried cooking oil, instead of trying commercial kitchen cleaners that don’t work very well, try grease dissolving dishwashing liquid. Dishwashing liquid that contains degreaser works great at removing dried kitchen oil. Simply soak a rag in hot water, ring out the rag, and apply dishwashing liquid. Use a circular motion to rub and scrub away the dried oil. Rinse away the soap, and repeat the process if necessary.

try out the new 'method' bathroom cleaner that can be found at target....it's a gentle cleaner with effective results! i think it's called 'le scrub'. also, the baking soda idea works well.

The baking soda is an excellent tip. Nothing else worked as good as it and I tried everything.

The baking soda and a Mr. Clean magic eraser worked great.

In our house we believe in the power of baking soda and also praise the wonders of vinegar. My kids that are on there own always go back to basics with these old basics. They will use the store bought cleaners, but end up feasing up that they tried in most aspects and failed with the cleaners bought in stores. It always pays to stick with the old fashioned remedies.

Well!!! There is a product call Mony's AC-IIL Degreaser. It will remove STICKY GREASE FILM very effectively. It will also remove soap scum from shower doors in your bathroom; well I use it to clean everything. This product is new to the market and it has not been advertised as of this date. It is available @ mony-s1@hotmail.com. The price is $6.25 per bottle. This product comes in a powder form, and it weighs only 148 grams, but will make up to 1 gallon of heavy duty cleaning solution, for regular cleaning, you can add more tap water. Oh!! This product is ODORLESS, It does not have any smell at all and it works great.

Using veggie oil to clean my baked-on grease stains didn't work so well, but the baking soda was amazing! It even worked on the outside of my deep fryer, which is ALWAYS greasy! Thanks for the tip!
