"409" has been good for me, also Pine-Sol.
Do you use a splatter-screen when you cook?
Doesn't sound like you have a lot of grease problems, but I know it is a pain.
We've got a black stove and it is a b*tch to keep clean...EVERY little spat or drop of food or grease shows up on this!

Get an industrial grade detergent at an auto supply parts store or a farmers co-op, or industrial chemical supply outlet store, or sometimes even Walmart.. Better get it with a mild abrasive in it. If that combination is not available buy some very mild abrasive and mix it into your detergent. shake well before every use. The grease is concentrated and there is finely divided carbon soot particles form the stove combustion that deposits on the stove, that is hard to remove/. There are specialty products that are compounded specifically for this problem. They could be bought at wood stove dealer retail outlets or bought on the net. Forget all of the above if the unit has a very nice finish or ceramic tiles. You'll need a cleaner with a strong caustic in it, for that, (like sodium hydroxide = lye etc.) use gloves, eye protection, and cover up before using the stuff. If in doubt talk to a person in the wood stove business, and take his/her advice.

The exteriors of most gas and electric ranges are baked-on porcelain enamel; the trim is usually chrome; and the control knobs are plastic. The easiest way to keep these clean is to wipe the surface around the heating elements after each use. Avoid using harsh abrasives or steel wool, which will damage the stove's enamel finish. Also consider these suggestions:
* Wash reflector bowls, or drip pans, and grids in warm soapsuds whenever food or grease is spilled on them.
* Gas burners should be washed occasionally. Clear the holes with a fine wire. Do not use a toothpick; it could break off and clog the hole.
* Electric heating elements are self-cleaning and should never be submerged in water.
* Remove all the control knobs when you clean the exterior of the range to make the job easier. Soak the knobs in warm sudsy water, and dry them with a soft towel before putting them back in place.

I moved to Japan last year and couldn't find this product I used that not only got grease off pots and pans, but cleaned the heck out of a stove and oven. I had to fly back to the states and pick up a few bottles of it.
Its called Dawn Power Dissolver. Spray it on, leave for about 10 mins then wipe off with a damp cloth. Don't put water on it until you are ready to wipe off and it'll make it brand new lookin.

We use Easy Off with success every time. Depending on your cooking habits, you can have baked on grease after just one meal. Spray the Easy Off on all areas with baked on grease and let it sit for up to an hour. You can let it sit longer without damaging your stove's finish. We've gotten busy with other things and let it sit overnight with no damage to our stove. Easy Off smells better than it used to years ago, but be sure to ventilate well. The grease will just wipe away with a clean sponge or cloth.

Tips: Clean after every use. Depending on what type of stove top you have, will determine the soap or cleaner you have. If you have a glass top you need to use the product that cleans glass. For info, Dawn Dish soap cuts rease and removes clothing stains. If you have stainless steal, the product is different again, it is at the grocer nad Sams, labeled stove top cleaner for stainless steal, or something to that effect. Use hot water when attempting to cut any grease.
I hope my ramblings help.

Seriously, I've been using Grease Removers for Motorcycle chains. There are several products out there, But I find that using these produces better result and requires lesser effort.
All you need is to just spray it on and leave it for a couple of minutes and wipe it off.
Guranteed, else my mom would be screaming by now.
Give it a try.
Cheers.

You can try 409's grease dissolver for kitchen use or oven off this works well with grease. But be careful of the smell. Or try the old fashion way with soap and hot water. You only use a steel sponge for it.

An oranage degreaser of Kaboom or Bamm they all work good. I usually let them set for about 2 to 5 minutes before I wipe them off, this allows the product to get deep into the grease so that it is easier to remove and I don't have to scrub so much either.

You want to find a product with a SAPONIFIER in it. This could be a base like Potassium Hydroxide, a carbonate or bicarbonate like baking soda, or a silicate. Look into some of the Arm & Hammer line of cleaning products. If you use a product with Potassium Hydroxide be sure to wear latex or nitrile gloves, it is caustic!
Saponifiers work by breaking down grease and turning it into a soap.
