We just moved into a new apartment, and the girls before us deep fried CONSTANTLY. Grease covers all shelves, the top of the curtain rods... everything. What can we use to help cut the grease?

We keep a supply of AquaKlean around the house. It's a very concentrated water-based cleaner & degreaser that effectively cleans almost anything and especially loves grease and grime! You dilute an amount with water to make a weak or strong mixture depending on your needs. Just a quart of concentrate can make over 2 1/2 gallons of cleaner. A quart costs only $9.50.

sodium hydroxide -- drano -- drain cleaner -- that's how you break down grease if you're serious. Like a solid clog of grease in plumbing. The sodium hydroxide reacts with grease to form rudimentary soap, which is washed away by water.
Obviously you're not that serious, so, windex (or any ammonia-containing glass cleaner) will take most atomised oils on a surface with a little elbow grease and paper towels.......
TSP (trisodium phosphate) apparently works..
I also dig borax (sold as boraxo) for hand degreasing.
You'll notice these are all very alkaline ...

I used a solvent called "Simple Green"... but some people don't like the smell. 409 works as well. Just make sure you keep changing your rags or towels, because otherwise you just end up pushing the grease around instead of removing it.
Best of luck!!

use a spray bottle filled with straight vinager. Spray directly on the grease and let set a min. This should cut the grease, break it down ot make it easier to clean. You may have to go back w/ 405 or clorox or something that smells better.
Good Luck

Just a thought, but dawn cuts grease awesome on dishes, why not try a solution with that?

WD-40 works, but the smell of it takes several washes to get that smell of the WD-40 out or off of whatever you are trying to remove the grease from.....good luck

i cleaned the back wall behind the stove today and i used "TSP". it is available at most stores and it did work very well. today was the first time i've used it. if you wanna get crazy and wipe out that grease use "wd40". use a test area before you spray that on everything to be sure it won't ruin anything.
