    Homemade Grease Cleaner Spray

    by Jessica 47 Comments

    This Homemade Grease Cleaner Spray cuts through the toughest grease and will help clean up even the greasiest, stickiest messes in your kitchen!

    DIY Grease Cleaner

    A few years ago, I shared a different version of de-greaser, but it required quite a few ingredients. Now that I've been making my own homemade cleaners for a few years, I've discovered a new way to clean grease with only a few household ingredients. This cleaner not only cleans grease, I use it for cleaning counter tops, our kitchen table, the inside of our refrigerator and our stovetop too! It cleans so well and leaves a nice, fresh citrus scent behind! I use this in conjunction with my Homemade Window and Glass Cleaner and my Homemade All-Purpose Cleaning Spray to get my whole house clean without toxic chemicals!

    DIY Kitchen Degreaser Recipe

    • 1 and ¾ Cups of Distilled Water
    • 2 Tablespoons of Castile Soap ( Purchase HERE )
    • 20 Drops of Orange Essential Oil ( Purchase HERE )
    • Spray Bottle ( Purchase HERE )

    Homemade Grease Cleaner Spray - great for cleaning kitchen messes with non-toxic ingredients and essential oils.

    Start by filling your spray bottle with 1 and ¾ cups of distilled water. Distilled water will help lengthen the shelf time for homemade cleaners. Next, add 2 Tablespoons of Castile soap. The Castile soap (which is a vegetable based, concentrated soap) will help clean and disinfect.

    Last, add 20 drops of Orange Essential Oil. Orange essential oil is a strong degreaser that also removes sticky residue...it's my favorite out of all of the essential oils. Bonus...it smells great too!

    How to Use Homemade Degreaser

    Shake well before each use. Because we aren't using any chemical binders in this recipe, there may be some separation of ingredients between uses.

    To use, simply give your grease cleaner spray a shake, spray your surface liberally and wipe any messes or grease spots away with a clean sponge or cloth! You won't believe how well this stuff works!

      Every cleaning TIP means I have to wait and buy a new product I am trying to save money not spend.

        Hi, Dorothy! You are absolutely under no obligation to buy anything. If you do want to make your own products, there are some products that you have to purchase to get started, but you don't ever have to purchase them from me. I wish everything were free and I could just give my readers what they need to get started, but unfortunately, I can't. Hugs to you! ~Jess

        you can get all these ingredients at Walmart; h2o in the baby department, castile soap in the laundry aisle and the e-oil in the candle area. This is a guesstimate, but it shouldn't cost anymore than $20 dollars and make several jars of it. I've just made my third bottle of laundry softener and the only thing I need to buy is conditioner to make another another two batches

      HI Jess, Can this cleaner be used safely on granite counter tops? Or do you have another solution I can make and use?

        Hi, Anne! Citrus or anything acidic really isn't great for granite. Try this recipe instead...https://www.mom4real.com/homemade-granite-cleaner/
        Have a great day!

      Hi,
      Does the spray bottle have to be glass since we are using Orange essential oil? are PET bottles ok for this?

        I have used plastic bottles for years and have had no issue. Since the orange essential oil isn't super concentrated, it shouldn't hurt at all.

          When using essential oils , you should always use a glass bottle. The reason you do not put it in plastic is because it pulls the toxins from the plastic into what you are using. Just trying to be helpful and share what I know!

            The essential oils gives it added degreasing and cleaning abilities. I never make mine without it.

      Fyi I found the Pure Castile soap just by chance at Target. A 2 fl oz bottle. So didnt have to invest a lot to try. It is the citrus scent also. I will add some orange oil in still. So if you have a Target close check it out or online, and you can usually find a orange essentials oil most places anymore. I use Young Livings which are very concentrated. They dont recommend plastic but I am using that because its diluted. I bought my bottle at Walmart for .97.
      I am wondering if anyone has used this on kitchen cabinets? That is my reason for trying it.

        Yes I did it to my cupboards. Spray it on , wait a minute to soak up the stuff we hope is coming off and then just take a clean dry cloth and wipe off.

      Jessica. I have been making this since you told us the first time. I love it. And the Castile I think will make it stronger. I clean counters, sink, stove, fridge and table with it. Spray it on my mixer to get batter off it. The orange smells so nice and you forget you are actually cleaning. I love it.

        Hi, Tonya! I use it on my stove top all of the time, so Yes! Also, I wouldn't keep it more than 3 months, but to be honest, I use it so much that I make it at least once a month. Hope this helps!

        Hi, Mary! I'm so sorry about your lung cancer diagnosis. My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in May, and has been undergoing chemotherapy. I'm sending you love and prayers for quick healing. Her diagnosis has reinvigorated my passion for helping others use cleaners with less chemicals. xoxo, Jess
