Heavy Grease Removal Techniques

Wear rubber gloves and ensure good ventilation. Turn off and cool all appliances completely. Remove knobs, grates, and other removable parts. Clear the area of anything that shouldn't get cleaning solution on it.

Use a plastic scraper or old credit card to remove loose, thick grease buildup. Scrape gently to avoid scratching surfaces. Dispose of scraped grease in trash (not down the drain where it can cause clogs).

Spray heavy-duty degreaser on affected areas. For vertical surfaces, spray from bottom up to prevent drips. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to break down the grease. Don't let it dry - reapply if needed.

For stubborn spots, make a paste of baking soda and dish soap. Apply thickly to greasy areas. The alkaline nature cuts through grease while providing gentle scrubbing action. Let sit 15 minutes.

Use appropriate scrubber for your surface (microfiber for delicate, steel wool for tough). Scrub in circular motions. For baked-on grease, use more pressure. Wipe away loosened grease with clean cloths frequently.

Spray with 50/50 vinegar and water solution. Wipe with clean cloth. The acid cuts through any remaining grease film. Buff dry with microfiber cloth for streak-free finish. Inspect and repeat if needed.
