What's the best cloth to use?

A damp Swedish Dishcloth or Dish Sponge works best with Koh Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner. Both absorb well and lift residue cleanly without leaving lint or fibres behind. Universal Cloths and microfibre cloths also work for general kitchen surfaces. Always wipe with something damp, never dry. Wiping dry can leave residue and grease smear on the surface, which dries to streaks. If using a Foaming Spray Bottle, let the foam sit, then wipe with a damp cloth or sponge. For food prep surfaces, rinse with clean water before the final wipe because Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner is not food-grade itself.

✓ Recommended tools

A damp Swedish Dishcloth or Dish Sponge is the best option for wiping down surfaces after spraying Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner. Both absorb well and lift residue cleanly without leaving lint or fibres behind.

✓ Also works

Universal Cloths and microfibre cloths work for general kitchen surfaces. Avoid terry-cloth tea towels, they shed lint and don't absorb residue as well.

Why does dry-wiping cause streaks?

Two reasons. First, residue: dry-wiping doesn't pick up dissolved product, so it stays on the surface and dries to a hazy film or visible streaks. Second, smearing: a dry cloth pushes the product around rather than absorbing it, smearing dissolved grease across the surface as it dries. The fix is to wipe with a damp cloth or sponge so it can absorb the product and residue cleanly. For a fully streak-free finish on stainless steel and glass: spray, wipe with damp cloth, rinse with clean water, then buff dry with a clean dry cloth at the very end. The dry buff is the last step, not the first.

✓ Damp cloth absorbs residue

A damp cloth or sponge can absorb dissolved product and residue. A dry cloth can't, it just pushes the product around. That's where streaks come from.

✓ Dry buff is the last step

For a streak-free finish on stainless steel and glass: spray, wipe with damp cloth, rinse with clean water, then dry-buff with a clean dry cloth at the end. Dry buffing is the finish, not the first wipe.
