How can I clean the grease off countertops? What can I use?

Question

It is grease from cooking, and the grease is on the wood on the countertops.

Answer 1

Krud Kutter is a awesome degreaser...

Answer 2

It depends on the grease, how deep it is and what your counter tops are made of. However, figuring the regular kitchen counter top and something that resembles smeared on butter, I would suggest, Top Job, an ammonia based cleaner and use a sponge with a little scratch to it. Warm water and then rinse. You need to use a soap because soap is a surfactant, (it reduces the surface tension of grease so it releases from surfaces, makes it more soluble in water and warm water makes grease runnier). So that's about all you need for regular grease, if its stuck on , like it would be on a stainless steel pan, then you need something that is really strong like an oven cleaner. BUT, don't use that on a normal Formica like counter top it will ruin your counter. What some people have started doing is cleaning with bleach, or a sanitizer of some sort, what that causes is spreading the grease around, not cleaning the grease up. Sanitizers are meant to be used after the surface is cleaned. K?

You can spray chemicals such as Grease-off or things like that, and let it sit for a little bit. The thing is so strong that it will make you cough if you breath it. Just spray it and let it be for like 15minutes, and then just use a scrubber of some sort (strong, not a sponge) and clean it off. How did you get grease on the counter tops anyhow?

Answer 4

Id use some Oven cleaner Just a little bit on the tops ... let it sit for a minute and then Wipe it off ... after that use some 409 or lysol and clean it off one more time. Dont use a sponge... Use a paper towl or even Newspaper. If you try and use a sponge it will just keep getting grease on it. and the water will make it spread.

Answer 5

Simple Green is a great degreaser. I've even used it to clean burned-on spills on the surface of my stove. Just spray it on, let it sit for a few minutes, and then wipe it off with a damp towel. You'll probably have to go over the area again with a rinsed/wrung towel to get up all the residue. Then wipe the area dry with a clean, dry towel or paper towels.

If there is some streaking left over, you can either try to buff it out with a dry towel or use Windex to clean off the remaining residue.

Answer 6

I even have outfitted with resin products like Corian for 40 years and the astounding thing approximately this floor is that's sanded and polished to repair the colour or a minimum of make it no longer undemanding to verify. in case you have no longer have been given the skill and persistence to do the artwork then call a professional. i could take my hand sander and get rid of the stain yet hand sanding is super. initiate with the main suitable paper which will get rid of yhe stain and use a sanding block so which you do no longer communicate one spot and create a hollow. attempt 220 or 320 grit and sand as great of a close-by as you're able to desire to. whilst the stain is long gone sand successively with 4 hundred then six hundred then 800 grit and finally with scotch pads and vehicle polish. See how undemanding that's.
