How to Clean Grease off Kitchen Walls

 
  • Mix a Gentle Cleaning Solution: In a bucket, combine warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap or a degreasing cleaner that you trust. Warm water helps loosen grease without harming the wall's finish.
  • Test a Small Area First: Dab a little of the solution on an inconspicuous spot of the wall. This step confirms that the cleaning mixture won’t affect the paint or wallpaper.
  • Apply the Cleaning Solution: Soak a soft cloth or a non-abrasive sponge in the solution. Gently wipe the greasy areas using circular motions to break up the grease. Be sure to work in small sections so you can see progress.
  • Let the Solution Work: For tougher, built-up grease, leave the damp cloth on the wall for a minute or two. This helps lift the grease from the surface before scrubbing.
  • Rinse Thoroughly: Dampen another clean cloth in plain water and wipe down the area to remove any soap residue. Residue left behind can attract more dirt if not removed.
  • Dry Your Wall: Finally, use a dry towel or cloth to gently pat the area dry. This step prevents streaks and potential water marks on the wall.
  • Repeat If Necessary: If grease remains, repeat these steps until the wall looks clean. Patience and gentle action protect the wall’s paint and finish.

 

Additional Considerations

 
  • Avoid Harsh Scrubbing: Do not use abrasive sponges or brush pads, as these can damage the wall surface or remove paint.
  • Ventilation: Ensure that the area is well-ventilated while cleaning to help the wall dry faster and to reduce any fumes from the cleaning solution.
  • Regular Maintenance: Cleaning walls regularly prevents the buildup of grease and keeps surfaces easier to maintain over time.
