Grease Cleaning Tips and Tricks
2014-06-30
Cooking with grease may be very tasty, but cleaning after can be one truly annoying chore. The mess left behind after spilt grease can be terrible to deal with. It sticks to everything and it gets really hard to clean, ruining clothes completely, staining carpets and making a mess out of things. There is a great deal of cleaners, out there on the market, who specialize in cleaning grease. You may not always have them in hand however, so you will need to improvise. The following tips will provide you with more information on things you can use around your home instead:
• You can use flour to clean grease fairly effectively, but only when it comes to cleaning fresh grease spills. They will help coagulate the grease into a form that would be easier to clean. Using flour will allow you to keep the grease from becoming sticky, but only if you act fast. If it’s already dried out into a sticky mess, then you will need to move on to the next step.
• Water and baking soda made into a paste can also work well when it comes to cleaning. If you happen to know how great baking soda can be when cleaning, then you may already know about this. You can use it for tarnishing off metal surface and for removing stains from your countertops and cups as well. Because of its alkaline properties, baking soda has an easier time cutting into grease and dissolving it.
• Another thing you can also use is liquid soap. Depending on the size and location of the greasy spot, you can work on cleaning it with just good old dish soap. Just rub it on the affect place and let the soap soak into it if possible. You won't really need a strong degreaser when it comes to most spots, so you can simply focus on cleaning with soap.
• You can also use rubbing alcohol and salt, especially for cases where you can't simply wash the spot out completely. This is especially relevant when it comes to cushions, rugs and carpets that would take far too much to clean otherwise. Just use a mixture of salt and rubbing alcohol in 1:4 of ratio to clean them. Rub it onto a greasy spot with force and it will help lift it. Once you're done you can use a vacuum to remove the salt crystals that remain once the alcohol evaporates.
• There is also something else you can use for tougher spots with grease that was caked-on, such as the one hiding in your cooking area or stove. All you have to do is spray vinegar on the affected spot and let it work for a few minutes before you move on to fixing it. Although that won't dissolve the grease entirely, it will still work well on it. You can also boil vinegar in your pans so grease won't stick to them as it would otherwise.
