Do I need Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner if I already have Universal Cleaner?Updated a day ago
TL;DR: Most Koh kitchens run both, and they do different jobs. Universal Cleaner is the everyday whole-home cleaner: benchtops, sinks, glass, walls, floors, bathrooms, and the fresh spills that make up most of the week. Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner is the kitchen degreaser. It is alkaline at pH 8.5 and carries lipase and protease, two enzymes aimed at fats, oils and cooked-on protein, which is what an oven, a rangehood, a BBQ grate and a roasting pan are covered in. Reach for it when grease is the actual job.
What does each one do?
✓ Universal Cleaner
Universal Cleaner is the everyday whole-home cleaner. Benchtops, sinks, glass, walls, floors, bathrooms and general spills, kitchen ones included. GECA (Good Environmental Choice Australia) certified, Allergy UK certified, Sensitive Choice approved.
✓ Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner
Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner is the kitchen degreaser. Alkaline at pH 8.5 with lipase and protease, aimed at fats, oils and cooked-on protein. Ovens, rangehoods, BBQ grates, roasting pans, oily stovetop spills. GECA certified, Sensitive Choice approved, Dermatest tested.
✓ How they sit together

When should I reach for Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner specifically?
✓ Reach for Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner
An oven or rangehood that has gone a while between cleans. BBQ grates after a season. A roasting pan with crusted fat. An oily stovetop after frying. The splashback behind a wok burner. The oil ring on the wall behind a deep fryer. Baked-on grease on oven racks and trays. Rangehood filters and extractor fans.
✓ Reach for Universal Cleaner
The daily benchtop wipe-down after dinner. A spill on the splashback you catch straight away. The sink. Cupboard fronts. The general kitchen tidy-up, and the rest of the house while you are at it.
✓ One more thing on the greasy jobs
Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner isn't food grade, so rinse any surface that food touches with clean water afterwards. Universal Cleaner is the one that lives on the benchtop; Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner is the one you get out, use, and rinse off.
