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. A dry cloth leaves residue and grease smear that dries to streaks. If you are using a Foaming Spray Bottle, let the foam sit, then wipe with a damp cloth or sponge. On food prep surfaces, cookware, pots and pans, rinse with clean water before food touches the surface, then do the final wipe.

✓ Reach for these first

A damp Swedish Dishcloth or Dish Sponge is the best option for wiping down 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. Skip terry-cloth tea towels. They shed lint and do not absorb residue as well.

⚠ On anything food touches

Rinse with clean water before food touches the surface. That means benchtops, chopping boards, table tops, cookware, pots, pans and the inside of appliances: rinse, then do the final wipe.

Why does dry-wiping cause streaks?

Two reasons. Residue: dry-wiping does not pick up dissolved product, so it stays on the surface and dries to a hazy film or visible streaks. Smearing: a dry cloth pushes the product around rather than absorbing it, spreading 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 the residue together. For a streak-free finish on stainless steel and glass, spray, wipe with a 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.

✓ A damp cloth absorbs residue

A damp cloth or sponge can absorb dissolved product and residue. A dry cloth cannot. It just pushes the product around, and that is where streaks come from.

✓ The dry buff is the last step

For a streak-free finish on stainless steel and glass: spray, wipe with a 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.
