Hi Denise,
This is Linda. I would start with baking soda and water made into a paste and rubbed into the area. Let it sit so that it has time to work. I'd then spray it with vinegar water (50% each) with a few drops of Dawn. Let that work, then rinse. If that didn't work, I'd get out my WD-40. I use that on a lot of stains. Rub it in with a soft cloth or a sponge. If it's really bad you might have to scrub it. If some of it comes off from either method, I'd repeat that method to see if the rest would come off. I hope this helps you. Wishing you the best.
I use Dawn. Use a strong solution and let it sit for a bit before rinsing. I've had to do this before when moving into a rental. Do yourself a favor and pull the appliances out from the wall. Much easier to clean that way.
Try testing a small are with Grease Lightening. It works great to cut grease and grime. However make sure it doesn’t damage your floor so test a small area that is not noticeable first and rinse it well.
