What's in Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner?
Fourteen ingredients, each with a specific role. The cleaning power comes from three enzymes — lipase (breaks down fats and oils), protease (breaks down protein residues like meat, egg, and dairy), and amylase (breaks down starches from pasta, rice, and sauces) — working alongside two surfactants, sodium lauryl sulfate and cocamidopropyl betaine, that cut through grease and generate foam. Vitamin E acetate helps protect hands during use. Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate and trisodium MGDA boost grease-cutting power and soften hard water. Xanthan gum adds cling. Polyacrylic acid stops grime redepositing. Ethanol and sodium xylene sulphonate support streak-free finish and foam stability. Citric acid balances pH. Deionised water is the base. An MCIT/MIT preservative blend (formaldehyde-free) prevents bacterial and fungal growth.
Tap each ingredient to see what it does.
Deionised Water
Pure water base that dissolves and disperses all actives evenly.
Xanthan Gum
Thickens the formula so it clings to greasy surfaces for longer contact time.
Trisodium MGDA
Softens hard water and boosts cleaning performance on tough surfaces.
Polyacrylic Acid, Sodium Salt
Anti-redeposition agent that stops grime from resettling after it's been lifted.
Vitamin E Acetate
Skin-conditioning ingredient that helps protect hands during normal cleaning use.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
Primary surfactant that creates a rich foam to cut through grease effectively.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine
Reduces surface tension so the cleaner spreads and works more effectively.
Sodium Xylene Sulphonate
Stabilises foam and boosts overall cleaning performance.
Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate
Helps break down grease and stabilise pH for consistent cleaning results.
Lipase
Enzyme that breaks down fats and oils at a molecular level for deeper degreasing.
Protease and Amylase
Enzymes that target protein and starch residues for a deeper clean.
MCIT/MIT Preservative
Formaldehyde-free antimicrobial preservative that prevents bacterial or fungal growth for longer shelf life.
Ethanol
Evaporates quickly for a streak-free finish and supports overall cleaning performance.
Citric Acid
Balances pH and helps fight mineral buildup, especially in hard water areas.
Where can I find the safety data sheet?
The safety data sheet (SDS) is a technical document covering handling, storage, and emergency information for regulatory and safety compliance. Most customers won't need it, but it's available below for those who do (workplaces, commercial kitchens, strata managers, accessibility purposes, etc).
