The Ten Chemical-Free Cleaning Techniques To Use When Cleaning A Greasy Kitchen!

Which is the most important room in your house? If you never knew then know it from today that it is the kitchen. Since it is the most vital room, it should be kept spotlessly clean. The truth of the matter is that the kitchen gets dirty each and every time we use it. Some of the dirt that is hard to clean is when grease is involved in the cooking. For instance, if you are frying some food, then some of the oil will splash around making other surfaces like the counters, drawers or even the floor to become greasy. To remove this grease, people often go for chemical cleaners. But have you ever known that these chemicals can be harmful to your health? To avoid getting harmed, How Stuff Works has come up with 10 different methods of making grease free cleaners.

 
The ten chemical-free cleaning techniques are:

• Flour for immediate spills

The best way to get rid of greasy stains? Stop them from setting in the first place! If you’ve splashed some grease or oil, sprinkle some flour immediately onto the spill. It’ll feel like you’re making a mess, but the flour will soak up the liquid and make it much easier to wipe up!

• Baking soda and soapy water for your stovetop

Did you bake some stains onto your stove while baking your favorite dish? All you need is a sprinkling of baking soda, some soapy water, and the right technique.

• More oil for your cabinets

“Water and oil don’t mix, but oil and oil do!” And if you use either mineral oil or vegetable oil, you can cut through the grease build-up on your cabinets. It works on appliances, too!

• An Alkaline cleaner for laminates

Maybe you just don’t like the idea of cleaning with more oil, or maybe you’re worried about translating that last tip for your painted or laminate cabinets. Whatever your reason, there’s a solution just for you: this DIY Alkaline cleaner made from Epsom salts, Borax, hot water and soap or detergent. Use with a microfiber cloth and start off gently! This method also works great on your walls, too.

• A DIY cleaner for your floors

The messes that we walk around – or even on – can be harder to spot than the ones right in front of our faces, but that doesn’t mean they have to be more difficult to clean. Use a mix of vinegar, dish soap, washing soda and tap water to make your own grease-cutting cleaner.

• Dish soap and vinegar, or . . .

Sometimes, the messiest thing in the kitchen ends up being ourselves! Whether we’ve dropped and dripped wine, pizza grease, or cooking oil on our shirts, this solution clears it right up!

• . . . aloe vera for your clothes

Another great solution for set-in, oily shirt stains? Aloe vera, of all things!

• Salt and rubbing alcohol for other fabrics

As annoying as it is when we stain our clothing, at least we have the option of throwing it into the washing machine. Rugs, carpets and chair cushions? Not so much. For harder-to-wash fabrics, mix 1 part salt with 4 parts rubbing alcohol, then use a cloth to rub the mixture into the stains and lift the grease away.

• Lemon and oil combined for fighting power

The natural acidity of lemons makes it the perfect natural ingredient for a great-smelling, general grease fighter. Combine it with a vegetable-based oil for a DIY all-purpose cleaner.

• White vinegar to clean everything

You’ve noticed it popping up in lots of other solutions for a reason! Similarly to lemon, vinegar’s natural acidity makes it the perfect all-purpose grease fighter, especially when you combine it with dish soap or natural oils. Keep a ton on hand for whatever stains, wherever and whenever they appear!
