How To Clean Years of Grease Off Appliances
I have a huge grease problem in my kitchen, plus I have black appliances so it shows EVERYTHING. It's just horrible and disgusting. We clean the appliances with the grease cutting dish soap which only does so much. So after years and years of the grease gunk piling on, I decided to try something new: baking soda.
I didn't realize how well this stuff works at cutting grease. I just placed some on to a wet rag and went to town rubbing the grease away.
The top picture was our worst spot of grease. No matter what we did, the grease would not come off. But, just a few minutes later with some baking soda, it magically disappeared!
You can see the before and after again here on the left and right.
It worked so well, I tried it on my microwave too! Success :)

Hi ! Thanks ! I recently got new appliances in a slate finish , a matte , no show finger prints type of finish . But grease is a different story ! I have tried microfiber and water and when that didn't work I tried adding dawn dishsoap. When that didn't work, I called the manufacturer. Just 2 days ago and they said to try baking soda !!!! I will definitely give this a try ☺

AWESOME works better for me. I used to manage apartments and I purchase a spray bottle of AWESOME in the dollar store. Then bought a gallon at Smart & Final. It saves me time and money. Just spray on the grease and you can see it works and wipe with a clean cloth. All done.

Have a question about this project?
Don't the knobs on the stove just pull off so that you can clean them in soap and hot water? Every stove I have ever had the knobs just come off.
