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

What You Will Need:
1 and 3/4 Cups of Distilled Water
2 Tablespoons of Castile Soap ( Purchase HERE )
20 Drops of Orange Essential Oil ( Purchase HERE )
Spray Bottle ( Purchase HERE )
Start by filling your spray bottle with 1 and 3/4 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!
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. 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!
Happy Cleaning, y’all!
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
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.
Can I just use Doc Bronner’s with the citrus oils already in it?
Absolutely!
