Here’s a clear, detailed, step-by-step baking soda grease remover recipe you can actually follow and use on most kitchen surfaces.
🧼 1. Strong Baking Soda Grease-Cutting Paste (Main Recipe)
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons baking soda
- 1–2 tablespoons warm water (adjust as needed)
- 1 teaspoon liquid dish soap (important for cutting grease)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon white vinegar (for extra degreasing action)
Method:
- Mix the paste
- In a small bowl, combine baking soda and dish soap.
- Slowly add warm water until it becomes a thick paste (like toothpaste).
- If using vinegar, add it last (it will fizz briefly).
- Apply to greasy areas
- Spread directly on:
- stovetops
- oven doors
- kitchen tiles
- sink edges
- exhaust hood surfaces
- Spread directly on:
- Let it sit
- Leave for 10–20 minutes
- For heavy grease: up to 30 minutes
- Scrub
- Use a sponge or soft brush
- Scrub in circular motion for stuck grease
- Wipe clean
- Use a damp cloth to remove residue
- Repeat if needed for stubborn spots
🔥 2. Heavy-Duty Oven/Grill Grease Version
Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons baking soda
- 2 tablespoons dish soap
- 2–3 teaspoons warm water
Extra step:
- After applying paste, cover with a damp cloth to keep it moist for 30–60 minutes (helps break down baked-on grease).
✨ 3. Quick Spray Booster (for daily cleaning)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- A few drops dish soap
Method:
- Mix in a spray bottle
- Shake well before use
- Spray and wipe immediately for light grease
⚠️ Important Tips:
- Don’t use on non-stick coatings aggressively or polished aluminum (can scratch/dull surface).
- Always rinse well after cleaning.
- For very old, hardened grease, you may still need a commercial degreaser or repeat applications.
If you want, tell me exactly where the grease is (stove, kitchen hood, walls, oven glass), and I can tailor a stronger “targeted version” that works faster for that specific spot.
