How do I use Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner step by step?Updated a day ago
TL;DR: Six steps. Spray Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner onto the greasy area, or through a Foaming Spray Bottle if you have one. Spread it for even coverage. Let it sit 5 to 15 minutes depending on the surface. Scrub with a damp cloth, a sponge, or a Scrubby Pad. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
What are the steps?
✓ Steps 1 to 3, set up
Foam or spray. A Foaming Spray Bottle is optional. It turns the liquid into thick foam that clings to vertical surfaces such as rangehoods, splashbacks and oven walls instead of running down them. Without one, spray straight onto the surface.
Spray. Spray generously onto the greasy area. Even coverage matters more than thick coverage.
Spread. Spread it out with a damp Dish Sponge or Swedish Dishcloth.
✓ Steps 4 to 6, clean
Wait. Let it sit 5 to 15 minutes depending on the surface and how heavy the build-up is. Soak-time guide below.
Scrub. Use a damp Dish Sponge, Swedish Dishcloth or Scrubby Pad. Soft side for plastic and ceramic-glass, scrubby side for enamel and metal.
Rinse. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, or sponge-rinse where there is no drain. Rinse with clean water before food touches the surface. Dishes, cookware, pots and pans go the same way.
✓ 3 to 5 minutes
General kitchen surfaces, splashbacks, benchtops, light grease.
✓ 5 minutes
Stovetops, cooktop hobs, daily greasy build-up.
✓ 5 to 10 minutes
BBQs, rangehoods, rangehood filters, exhaust fans.
✓ 10 to 15 minutes
Ovens with baked-on grease, oven racks and trays, oven door glass.
What about extra tough messes?
✓ Soak longer, do not scrub harder
On oven racks and trays, BBQ grates, roasting pans and long-neglected surfaces, longer soaking beats harder scrubbing. Leave Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner 10 to 15 minutes for ovens, 5 to 10 minutes for BBQs and rangehoods, then scrub.
For very heavy build-up, soak the item in warm water with Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner for 30 minutes. That suits oven racks, BBQ grates and roasting pans. Do not let the product dry on the surface mid-clean, and spray again if it starts to.
⚠ Match the scrubber to the surface
On tough metal and enamel, the scrubby side of a Scrubby Pad is the right tool.
Diamond Sponges are for bare metal only, such as uncoated stainless steel BBQ grates and bare-metal oven racks. Keep them off enamel, non-stick, ceramic-coated and hard-anodised surfaces. If you cannot tell whether a rack is bare metal or enamelled, treat it as enamelled and use a Scrubby Pad.
