We love to cook but all that action in the kitchen can leave behind a greasy buildup that tough to cut through. That’s why we rely on this simple homemade kitchen degreaser that’s easy on your wallet, easy on the environment and easy on your health.

Every time you cook with fats or oils, teeny tiny particles disperse into the air and land on kitchen surfaces.  These particles coagulate and become a sticky film which is both unsightly and a fire hazard so, you should clean your kitchen surfaces regularly with this homemade degreaser.

In a spray bottle combine…

1 part white vinegar

1 part lemon juice

1 part water

1 tsp dish soap

But what makes this concoction such an effective grease fighter?  Well, I thought you’d never ask…

Vinegar contains acetic acid and lemon juice contains citric acid.  Both of these are incredibly good at breaking up fatty substances like kitchen grease.

A couple things to keep in mind, when cleaning with this mixture, you should always spray it on a cloth and then apply it to the surface.

Neither lemon juice or vinegar should be used on natural stone as they can damage it.

And, like with any cleaning product, you should spot test it before use.
