What ingredients are in Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner?Updated 2 days ago
TL;DR: Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner works like this. Surfactants and an alkaline builder do the lifting, ethanol flashes off so metal dries streak-free, three enzymes (lipase, protease and amylase) work on fats, cooked-on protein and starchy food marks, and a water softener, a thickener, a preservative pair, Vitamin E and citric acid round it out. Full list below, with what each one is for. Made in Australia.
