Are you annoyed by the grease stains on the kitchen surface that are difficult to clean? Try making a spray with natural cleaning ingredients to clean them.
When cooking fried, sautéed, grilled, etc., hot grease can “splatter” all over your stovetop. It won’t be a problem if you can clean them easily. But not! Grease and fat are never things that can be cleaned quickly, they can even be “stuck” around the stove, causing rust.
Initially, I had a hard time cleaning the grease from the stove, the work took me a long time and it didn’t really remove the grease completely. I need something more efficient! After gathering some knowledge from the internet, I came across what I needed – natural grease remover from fresh lemons.
This simple recipe is a combination of fresh lemon, baking soda, and castile soap. In it, lemon contains a compound called limonene that works to remove grease stains as well as help clean and disinfect. When combined with a little baking soda and castile soap, it will increase the effectiveness of cleaning stains on kitchen utensils.
Make your own water to clean grease stains on kitchen utensils
INGREDIENT:
- 2 cups of warm water;
- 2 tablespoons baking soda;
- 2 teaspoons castile soap;
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice;
- 20 drops of lemon essential oil (if available);
INSTRUCT:
Mix all ingredients together in a spray bottle, then shake the bottle vigorously to mix the mixture together. Spray the mixture on areas that are greasy on the stovetop, countertop, or anywhere that needs cleaning. Use a damp cloth to wipe off the grease, then use a dry cloth to wipe it again.
Personally, I’m quite happy with natural cleaners rather than over-the-counter products, because at least I know the ingredients are safe and free of harmful chemicals. However, if you don’t have time, you can pay some money to buy a dedicated kitchen cleaner bottle , which is also a good idea. The link below will guide you as to which type to choose for the best cleaning performance.

With the above simple recipe, cleaning your grease after cooking will become easy. What’s more, if you regularly eat and drink in your car, use a smaller spray bottle to easily clean up food crumbs from the car. That will help your interior significantly limit the smell.
