Grease

Keep alkaline degreasers away from all three. Strong alkali darkens and corrodes aluminum, damages nonstick coatings, and strips the seasoning off cast iron. Wash these pans with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge, and check any cleaner's label for materials it shouldn't be used on.

Pick by the state of the grease. Dish soap handles fresh, light grease and needs rinsing. Baking soda works through mild alkalinity and gentle abrasion, so it's fine on thin grease but slow on old buildup. Old, polymerized grease film is a job for a dedicated alkaline, solvent-based degreaser.

Heat a bowl of water for a few minutes and leave the door closed so the steam softens splatter and dried food, then wipe the walls and turntable. For stubborn grease, spray degreaser onto a cloth and keep liquid out of the vents and the waveguide cover. Finish with a plain-water wipe and leave the door open to dry.

Unplug the fridge or turn off cooling per the manual, move food into a cooler, wash the shelves and drawers in warm water, and wipe the walls and door gasket with a fridge cleaner. Wipe again with plain water, dry everything, restart, and wait until it's cold to restock. Wipe it monthly and deep clean every three months.

Wipe off food bits and sticky spots with a damp cloth first, then spray glass cleaner onto a microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and grease, and buff dry in one direction. Clean both the top and underside, and wipe away cup rings and drink spills as soon as they happen.

Sweep up crumbs and grit first, then mop with a floor cleaner that cuts grease. In front of the stove and sink, spray it on and let it sit briefly before mopping. When there's a lot of grease, finish with a plain-water pass and dry the floor so no slick film is left behind.

Check the material first. For stainless or chrome racks and enamel pans, spray oven and grill cleaner once they're cool, seal them in a large trash bag for 10 to 30 minutes, then scrub and rinse. Nonstick and aluminum pans can't take strong alkali or steel wool; soak them in hot soapy water and use a soft sponge.

Most sticky cabinets have a film of cooking grease and hand oil. Test in a hidden spot, wipe with degreaser sprayed onto a cloth, then wipe again with a damp cloth and dry. If the finish itself is soft, losing color, or peeling, that's a failing finish, not dirt, and it needs repair rather than cleaning.

Old kitchen grease has oxidized and polymerized, and spraying and wiping right away doesn't give the degreaser time to work. Soak it, let it sit 3 to 5 minutes, scrub, then wipe with clean water. If it still won't budge with the right method, the formula isn't built for that buildup, or it isn't grease.

Let the glass cool completely, spray oven glass cleaner and wait 5 to 10 minutes, scrape off the baked-on film with a plastic scraper, then wipe several times with a damp cloth. Grease between the panes only comes out if your manual says the door or glass can be removed. If it doesn't, don't force it.

Surfactants first let water spread over the floor and the oily film, loosening the film's grip. Then they emulsify and disperse grease and dust into tiny particles suspended in water, which the pad soaks up and the dock washes out. At the label ratio, very little stays behind, so floors don't turn tacky.

Choose neutral for hardwood, natural stone and everyday upkeep. Choose mildly alkaline for tile-heavy homes with lots of greasy kitchen footprints. pH is a guide, not the whole story, so also check the label's floor list and ratio. No robot mop solution should be strongly alkaline once diluted.

For light greasy footprints, add a small dose of low-foam solution that emulsifies oil and set the kitchen for an extra pass. Wipe up stove-front splatter, spilled sauces and thick grease by hand first, then let the robot handle daily upkeep. Don't just add more solution.

Yes, for some jobs. Plain water handles everyday dust and light water marks. Greasy footprints, kitchen floors, paw prints and drool marks only fade with water; a small dose of low-foam robot mop cleaning solution gets them clean. When you do add solution, less is better than more.

To clean the inside of an oven, let it cool completely and remove the racks. Spray oven cleaner on the baked-on grease, let it sit 15 to 30 minutes, then lift it off with a plastic scraper and a damp cloth. Wipe several times with clean water and air it out. Don't use it inside a self-cleaning oven.

Once the wall has cooled, spray degreaser on the greasy tile, let it sit a minute or two so the film emulsifies, and wipe it away with a damp cloth. Finish with a cloth dampened in plain water, then a dry cloth. Work grease out of the grout with a soft brush, never steel wool.

Turn the hood off, let it cool, and pull the filter. Let degreaser sit on stainless baffles; soak aluminum mesh in hot soapy water. Brush, rinse, and dry completely. For the hood, spray degreaser onto a cloth, never onto the motor or controls, then wipe with plain water.

Match the product to the grime and the surface. Use an alkaline degreaser on the range and hood, a strong alkaline gel on baked-on oven carbon, and a cooktop cleaner with a scraper on glass cooktops. Wipe stainless steel with the grain and use a neutral, fragrance-free cleaner in the fridge. Finish food areas with a plain-water wipe.
