Quick degreasing: how to safely clean the stove, oven, range hood, and kitchen cabinets.

Stovetop: how to remove grease without scraping

For the stovetop, a simple rule applies: lukewarm surface + degreaser + 1–3 minutes dwell time. The grease loosens and you can simply wipe it away—no scraping, no streaks.

• First spray a natural kitchen degreaser (spray/concentrate) and let it sit briefly.

• Wipe with a microfiber cloth; gently detail around knobs or burners with a soft brush.

• Finally, polish glass or stainless parts with a glass/shine cloth—leaving a streak-free clean surface.

How to clean a burnt-on oven without harsh scrubbing

Oven build-up is a mix of fat and heat. Instead of hard labor, let chemistry and time do the work.

• Submerge the racks in hot water with a pinch of baking soda.

• Apply a stronger natural cleaner—an oven gel/foam that clings to vertical surfaces.

• After 10–20 minutes, wipe everything with a damp cloth.
  If residue remains, do a short second round. The key is giving the cleaner time to work—that’s when grease releases easily.

For ovens, the winning combo is: Oven gel/foam (natural formula) + Baking soda (for racks) + Scouring sponge/brush for burnt-on grime.

Range hood: clean filters = quieter operation and less odor

Clogged filters reduce draft and spread odors. Every few weeks, give them a clean:

• Remove the metal filters and place them in hot water with a natural degreaser.

• Lightly go over them with a filter brush, rinse, and let dry.

• Mist the hood body, let it dwell briefly, then wipe with microfiber.

Countertop and sink area: by material

• Laminate/lacquer: gentle spray, short dwell, microfiber.

• Wood: gentle natural surface cleaner, then wood oil/wax to restore protection.

• Stainless/chrome: degreaser and a final polish with a glass cloth.

• Limescale around the tap? Use citric acid—but always rinse thoroughly after a short while.
