Grease on kitchen surfaces is one of the most common cleaning frustrations, but the right technique makes it far easier to remove.
Let it sit
Apply a degreasing spray or a mix of warm water and dish soap, then let it sit for a few minutes before wiping, rather than scrubbing immediately.
Use the right cloth
A microfibre cloth lifts grease more effectively than paper towel, which can just spread it around.
For stubborn buildup
A paste of bicarbonate of soda and water, left to sit before wiping, helps with more stubborn, older grease.
Keeping it from building up
