Good old white vinegar to the rescue! Vinegar works because the acid in the vinegar cuts through the grease. You can make your own de-greaser by using a two to one ratio of water and vinegar. Just fill a spray bottle with one part white vinegar and two parts clear water. Spray the solution on the greasy surface and wipe clean. It’s that simple! Some people will add a drop or two of liquid dish soap. If you do that be sure to rinse with plain warm water. Some folks suggest just using plain white vinegar without the water, but sometimes that can be to strong. Be sure to test on a small area before using on finished wood surfaces or tile and do not use on marble.
As with all cleaners, you should avoid contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin.
