We bought new appliances after I redid my kitchen . I bought GE brand , with a slate finish . It goes great with the vintage cottage / industrial look I have . It is a charcoal gray color , in a matte , no fingerprint type finish . I don't do much frying , but I cook a lot and often saute things. I found that things splatter every once in a while , and now I have a few dots of grease , that I can't seem to clean off 😣 I have tried ...vinegar & water , microfiber cloth & water ,window cleaner , dawn dishwashing detergent and hot water , magic eraser .I called the manufacturer and they said to try baking soda & water , that didn't work either ! Anybody have any suggestions ????? Thanks !!!

I have the GE slate finish appliances. I love this finish. I just use some Dawn dish soap and hot water and then polish with a microfiber cloth. I really haven't had any trouble with grease spots. I have had my appliances for about 5 years.
Try a kitchen safe degreaser. I like GP66 or Fuller brands. I've never had any issues with them doing anything to the finish. I even use it on our laundry.
Is it stainless steel with a slate finish? There are specific stainless steel cleaners, which might help. I've had good luck with dish detergent, too, which I know you said you tried. Maybe try letting it soak a little and then scrub it?
Run a damp rag over the greasy area, then sprinkle a layer of baking soda over the area. Allow this to sit for about 5 minutes. Scrub with a damp rag or scrubber sponge to remove burnt-on grease.
Don't use a magic eraser it can mar your new stove. I would try Simple Green. Spray it on, and let sit a minute and then use a microfiber cloth.
If Simple green does not work, but it should go to Walmart or an auto store and get some cleaner degreaser. Purple Power is great and can be used for many different cleaning projects around the house.
Fantastic spray cleaner or Mr. clean spray cleaner. Either cut grease.
I have the same issue! I have a gas stove and even though the surface around the burners is more of a gloss finish, I still can’t get the gummy feeling grease off! My rangehood is the Matt and is awful! It always feels sticky on top.
Best thing I've found is a degreaser called Awesome Degreaser from the Dollar Tree.
Is this what you have? Just bought a house and was wondering if anything ever worked.
Hi,
Try covering spots with kitchen towel and a Warm iron to draw out the oil!
Hi! I have that problem too. Do you found something to take out the spots?
