1. Use an All-Purpose Cleaner
The easiest way to clean grease and oil off kitchen surfaces is with an all-purpose cleaner. Be sure to use a cleaner that is made for kitchen use and follow the instructions on the label. Spray the greasy areas and let it sit for a few minutes. Then use a sponge or cloth to wipe away the grease and oil. If the stain doesn't come off easily, you may need to scrub a bit more.
2. Use Soap and Water
If you don't want to use a chemical cleaner, you can also remove grease and oil with soap and water. Start by scrubbing area with a strong soap, such as dishwashing liquid. Work it into grease and oil with a scouring pad or soft brush. Rinse the soap off with warm water and use a paper towel or soft cloth to dry area.
3. Use Baking Soda and Vinegar
If the grease and oil stains are still not coming off, you can try a combination of baking soda and vinegar. Start by sprinkling baking soda over the stain and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Then mix equal parts white vinegar and water and pour it onto the baking soda. Use a scrub brush to work mixture into the stain, then rinse with warm water. Use a soft cloth or paper towel to dry the area.
