The right way to degrease a kitchen

Grease bonds with dust over time, so the longer it sits the harder it clings. Warm water and a degreaser loosen it far better than scrubbing dry.

Always test on a hidden spot first. Stainless steel, painted cabinets, and natural stone each react differently to strong cleaners.

Work top-down: hood and upper cabinets first, then the backsplash, then countertops, finishing with the cooktop and floor.
