After every delicious meal you make, a thin layer of sticky grease forms on the kitchen tiles around your stove. And when it cools down, it hardens and becomes very difficult to remove. In Kailua, most people hire a house cleaning company to deal with it. With the right tools and skills, your walls and surfaces will be smooth and clean.
However, if you’d like to take on the challenge of tackling sticky grease in even the trickiest parts of your home, we’ve prepared a few tips to get you started. Keep reading to learn more!
How do you clean sticky grease?
Whenever you think about cleaning grease, the first thing that comes to mind is usually a stronger type of chemical or acid. But did you know that this is not necessary at all? You can always use natural products to remove it, and the results will be better than using commercial cleaners.
Try one of the following tips for more natural solutions:
1. Use baking soda and lemon to unstick it
These are pretty effective in dissolving the grease, as the lemon eats away the sticky part and baking soda picks up any foul odors. You can use them separately, or dip a lemon slice into the soda and scrub the surface with it.
2. Spray it with white vinegar and let it sit
Just like lemon, vinegar easily dissolves sticky grease due to its acidic nature. You can mix it with hot water and spray it on the surface since the hot water will help to soften it. However, if your tiles are made of stone instead of ceramics, keep the vinegar away from them.
3. Dish soap and warm water for stone and wood surfaces
Since vinegar is harmful to stone, you can use an alternative method to clean the sticky grease from it. A simple mixture of dish soap and warm water is good enough. The only thing to do is to let it sit for a few minutes and then gently scrub.
The same thing goes for wood. Sticky grease can build up in wooden drawers and become difficult to remove. However, putting a damp cloth over the area can unstick the grime and it will come right off.
How do you clean hardened grease?
While this type of grease forms after the surface accumulates a couple of layers of sticky grease, it’s fairly easy to clean. You can use all of the steps mentioned above and add more time between applying the product and wiping the surface. This way, the cleaning agent has some time to work through the layers of grease and slowly soften it.
Many people make the mistake of spraying and scrubbing until they damage either their tools or their surfaces. Instead, all they needed to do is let the solution sit for a while and then wipe it like it’s dust.
