Grease. It seems to get everywhere in my kitchen. Of course I'm sure that this wonderful humid summer we're having & my ceiling fan in the kitchen being on almost nonstop, had a bit to do with that problem too. But I'm not really a fan of spraying a chemical degreaser while the fan is on. Let alone when the fan is on & it still feels like a million degrees.
This Simple DIY Degreaser is super easy to make & use. Of course if you have a really tough job, you may need to add a bit of elbow grease to the mix, which is no different if you used a store bought degreaser.
•1 part water
•1 part distilled white vinegar
•1-2 Tbsp. grease fighting dish soap (like Dawn)
Add all of the ingredients in a spray bottle & give it a gentle shake to blend.
To use, simply spray degreaser onto surface or (directly onto a rag) & wipe off.
Oh nice! I need to try this! It sounds so easy to make, too!
