Grease: enemy of clothes, appliances, sinks, floors, dishes, and at times even vehicles. You name it – grease can be found just about anywhere in your home. It attracts dust, bugs, and fluff, making surfaces appear dull, gritty and, well…dirty. Removing built-up grease from any surface in your home can prove to be an arduous task, so why not clean grease up before it becomes a grimy, sticky nightmare? It can be quick and easy to do if you follow these helpful tips for keeping your whole house simple and clean.
All-Purpose Grease Cleaners
You do not need to cram your cabinets with a hundred different cleaners to deal with greasy messes. A wide variety of multi-purpose degreasers are available that will effectively break down grease and leave your house spanking clean. It is, however, best to choose one that is non-abrasive and environmentally friendly (FULLER all-purpose Degreaser). Check for the words “biodegradable” and “phosphate-free” on the label. These words indicate the product is non-toxic to the environment and will not cause problems in sewage systems. This is particularly important for those homeowners that depend on a septic tank system. Degreasers such as these can be used to break down and remove grease on most non-porous surfaces such as walls, counter tops, appliances, sinks, cabinets, and a host of other places where grease can lurk.
Heavy-duty grease, commonly found caked onto vehicle engines, spattered on driveways, splashed onto patios, and built up on other outdoor surfaces requires a heavy-duty degreaser, preferably one that can be applied with a pressure washer (FULLER Pressure Washer heavy-duty Degreaser). A product used in conjunction with a handy device like this will effectively remove built-up grease in no time.
Degreasers That Disinfect
To clean up grease left behind while preparing meat or fish, you need to use the strongest degreaser available – a food grade degreaser. Food grade degreasers are specially formulated with powerful disinfectants that kill harmful bacteria such as Salmonella and E.Coli. These bacteria, if not removed immediately and completely, can cause illness, such as food poisoning, if inadvertently ingested. You can spray and wipe the grease off your counter with a sponge, or you can try a simpler choice many manufacturers are offering today. Ready-to-use wipes, pre-moistened with germ-killing disinfectants (FULLER Fulsol Degreaser Wipes) are a convenient and efficient way to ensure your kitchen is safe from the dangers of these bacteria and looks good too. Quick and easy to use, just wipe your counter with one of these cloths, toss it away, and you are done. Simple.
It’s a fact of life. Grease happens. And it must be dealt with as soon as it happens, because the alternative can be most off-putting, if not downright harmful for you and you family. But you do not have to spend a fortune in dollars and in time to keep grease under control. Pulling out the few safe degreasing products you have stashed in your cabinet will help you to keep it simple and clean.
