Every Indian kitchen tells a story - of hot tadkas, frying papads, boiling curries, and warm family meals. But along with these stories come layers of grease on tiles, sticky countertops, and oily stains on your appliances. If you're tired of scrubbing endlessly, it's time to discover smarter ways to keep your kitchen clean.
Here are five simple yet powerful hacks using kitchen cleaning sprays and even DIY Homemade kitchen cleaners - all designed to help you enjoy a grease-free kitchen with less effort.
Here are 5 easy tricks to keep your kitchen tiles and surfaces grease-free. Let’s make kitchen cleaning simple, smart, and stress-free.
1. Lemon & Salt Magic – For Oily Stove Sides
Lemon cuts grease like nothing else. Slice a lemon in half, dip it in salt, and rub it on oily areas like stove sides or wall tiles. Let it sit for 5–7 minutes, then wipe it with a wet cloth.
🍋 Why it works: Lemon breaks oil, and salt scrubs gently without damage.
💡 Best for: Tiles near stove, handles, switchboards.
2. Baking Soda Paste – For Sticky Corners
Mix 2 spoons of baking soda with a little water to make a thick paste. Apply it to greasy corners or near chimney filters. Leave for 15 minutes, then wipe with a warm damp cloth.
🥄 Why it works: Baking soda removes old, stuck grease without scratching.
💡 Best for: Corners of walls, tile lines, cabinet joints.
3. Vinegar Spray – For Daily Use on Surfaces
Fill a spray bottle with equal parts vinegar and water. Spray it on greasy kitchen surfaces and wipe with a soft cloth. It removes fresh oil and smells fresh too.
🧴 Why it works: Vinegar is a natural degreaser and disinfectant.
💡 Best for: Dining tables, gas knobs, steel handles.
4. Hot Water Steam – For Exhaust Fans & Chimney Sides
Boil water in a wide pot and place it near greasy walls or under the chimney. Let the steam soften the oil. After 10 minutes, just wipe it off using a soft cloth.
💨 Why it works: Steam melts thick oil without needing any scrubbing.
💡 Best for: Walls behind stove, chimney corners, fan blades.
5. The Spray That Saved Our Sunday – A Real Story
Last Diwali, my cousin and I were deep cleaning the kitchen. Everything was going fine - until we reached the tiles behind the gas. Sticky, yellow grease that just wouldn’t go.
We tried lemon. We tried baking soda. Nothing worked.
That’s when she pulled out a bright Red bottle and said, “Trust me, just spray this.” It looked like one of those kitchen cleaning sprays—but the result? The oil came off in seconds. No harsh smell. No scrubbing. Just wiped and done.
That was the first time I saw what a good kitchen cleaner could do. Later, I checked and found it is a Pollie Kitchen Cleaner with a citrus-clove scented spray made for Indian kitchens—safe, eco-friendly, and refillable. It even works on tiles, counters, stoves, and sinks.
Sometimes, we need help beyond DIY. And that’s okay.
