What to do
For grease on a hard kitchen surface, identify the material and whether it contacts food, remove loose soil, then use a compatible cleaner according to its label. Rinsing and any food-area requirements depend on the specific product and setting.
Step-by-step
Check the material and use area
Identify whether the surface is painted, metal, tile, plastic, or another finish. Separate equipment exteriors from surfaces that contact food.
Remove loose residue
Wipe or scrape away removable food and grease soil using a method that will not damage the material.
Choose a compatible cleaner
Follow the surface maker’s care information and the cleaner’s product label. Avoid assuming that a stronger or abrasive product is suitable for every finish.
Rinse or wipe as directed
Remove residues and dry the surface in the manner required by the product and site procedure. Food-contact applications need their own documented suitability and cleaning steps.
