Do I need to rinse after using Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner?Updated a day ago

TL;DR: Rinse with clean water once you have finished cleaning. On a benchtop or anything near a sink, spray, scrub and rinse. On surfaces with no drain such as ovens, rangehoods and BBQs, wipe down with a clean damp Dish Sponge or Swedish Dishcloth until no residue is left, then buff dry with a clean cloth.

Do I need to rinse after use?

Rinse with clean water once you have finished cleaning with Koh Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner. On benchtops and surfaces near a sink: spray, scrub with a Dish Sponge or Swedish Dishcloth, then rinse thoroughly with clean water before you prepare food there. On surfaces with no drain such as ovens, rangehoods and BBQs: wet a clean Dish Sponge or Swedish Dishcloth with clean water, wipe the surface down until no product residue is left, then buff dry with a clean cloth for a streak-free finish.

✓ Spray, scrub, rinse

1

Spray. Spray Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner onto the surface and let it sit.

2

Scrub. Scrub with a Dish Sponge or Swedish Dishcloth.

3

Rinse. Rinse thoroughly with clean water before food goes anywhere near the surface.

✓ No drain? Use a damp sponge

For ovens, rangehoods, BBQs and anything else without a drain, wet a clean Dish Sponge or Swedish Dishcloth with clean water and wipe the surface down until no product residue is left.

Buff dry with a clean cloth for a streak-free finish.

Why does the rinse matter?

Two reasons. First, food contact: rinse with clean water before food touches the surface, because the rinse clears any product residue so the surface is ready to use. Dishes, cookware, pots and pans go the same way, rinsed under the tap. Second, finish: leftover residue dries on the surface and leaves streaks or a haze, which shows most on stainless steel and glass. Rinsing prevents both.

✓ Ready for food prep
