Kitchen degreasers are perfect for people who cook a lot. If you're using your oven, other appliances like your microwave or toaster, or even the stovetop on a regular basis, grease and messes can happen pretty quickly. When it's time to clean up, if grease or food has dried on your stovetop, counters, or even walls, you'll need something to clean it up for sure. A strong degreaser or multipurpose cleaner can help you get your kitchen back to normal so you can feel comfortable prepping food in it again. Sometimes with stuck-on grease you may need to let it soak for a little while. Using a cleaning cloth like our Grove Co. Microfiber Cleaning Cloths is always a great idea, too. (Plus, it's less waste than using paper towels.)

We think everything on our list is a great choice when it comes to tackling thick grease, and it really just depends on your personal preference.

Whatever your preference, our list features top, trusted brands like Mrs. Meyer's, method, Aunt Fannie's, and Arm & Hammer. Remember that you'll need something to scrub the grease even with your cleaner of choice — you can use a cleaning cloth or soft sponge to scrub it away.
