How do you remove dried oil splatters from the stove and surrounding areas where oil splattered when cooking?

Question

I need to clean dried vegetable oil splatters off of the stove top, hood, cabinets, and tile around the range. I am in need of cleaning tips to make the job easier.

Answer 1

Dawn dish detergent, or any good dish detergent for that matter will work. It may take some good ol' fashioned elbow grease, but you can do it. Use a very warm soapy sponge or cloth and suds it up really good, then wipe it away. It'll eventually come off. I wouldn't use anything harsh because they usually leave a film.

Answer 2

Dawn Direct Foam is great for dissolving grease. In fact, sometimes a little too good - don't use it on iron cookware, you'll need to re-season it! :) Baking soda is a great mild abrassive. I haven't found anything it will scratch, but it is a great scrubber. I use it in my fiberglass tubs, for glassware, on my porceline-topped stove, to remove stains in my stainless steel sink, etc. If I could have one scrubber, that would be it. Put a little soapy water on the dried mess and let it set for a few minutes, whipe up what dissolves, then sprinkle with baking soda and rub gently. Depending on what it is, sometimes it will still take a little elbow grease.

Good luck!
