What Is Kitchen & Food-Safe Grease Remover?
Kitchen & Food-Safe Grease Remover is a heavy-duty commercial kitchen degreaser spray engineered for restaurants, bakeries, food manufacturing plants, and institutional catering outlets. Formulated without perfumes or dyes, its non-tainting alkaline formula cuts through thick layers of vegetable oil, animal fats, grease films, and burnt-on food soils on food prep equipment without transferring chemical odours or toxic residues to food products.
🔍 How Food-Safe Kitchen Degreaser Works
Kitchen & Food-Safe Grease Remover cleans through alkaline surfactant emulsification.
When sprayed onto greasy kitchen surfaces, the specialized alkaline builders and surfactants lower the surface tension of water, penetrating underneath oil matrices. The active molecules surround hydrophobic grease particles, breaking them into microscopic droplets suspended in water. This allows thick oil films on stainless steel, tiles, and canopies to wipe away effortlessly without leaving slippery residues behind.
🏢 Common Applications (Where to Use It)
Because Kitchen & Food-Safe Grease Remover is unperfumed and food-safe, it can be used across all catering operations:
· Stainless Steel Worktops & Pass Counters: Daily wipe downs of prep benches, hot passes, and slicing machinery between orders.
· Extraction Canopies & Filters: Emulsifies airborne grease blankets collecting on hood surrounds and stainless mesh filters.
· Deep Fryer Surrounds & Cooklines: Cuts through baked-on splatter marks on stainless splashbacks and fryer exterior panels.
· Tiled Walls & Safety Flooring: Removes slippery grease films from kitchen wall tiles and slip-resistant flooring.

🚨 The Golden Kitchen Cleaning Rule
Always wipe down food contact surfaces (prep tables, chopping boards, pass counters) with a clean, damp cloth after degreasing. While the formula is non-tainting and non-toxic, rinsing ensures no residual surfactant film remains on prep surfaces before food placement.
🛠️ Best Application Practices for Kitchen Hygiene
· Allow Adequate Dwell Time: Give the chemical 2 to 5 minutes to break down heavy grease bonds before wiping. Letting the chemical do the work reduces scrubbing effort and protects stainless steel from scratches.
· Use Color-Coded Microfibre Cloths: Prevent cross-contamination by using designated kitchen microfibre cloths (e.g., Green for food prep benches, Yellow for washup areas).
· Stock Up with Spray Multi-Packs: Running out of heavy degreaser during busy shift rotations compromises hygiene standards. Ordering larger spray pack quantities at checkout lowers your individual bottle costs while ensuring your kitchen staff always have active degreasing triggers ready.
📋 COSHH Safety Rules & Required PPE (Staying Safe)
· Eye Protection: Avoid spraying towards face level or directly into eyes.
· Skin Care: Kitchen staff performing continuous multi-hour cleaning duties should wear light protective gloves.
· Storage Safety: Keep caps tightly secured. Store upright in original containers away from direct sunlight and extreme frost.
🚑 First Aid Measures
· Skin Contact: Wash off with fresh water.
· Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with fresh cold water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and continue rinsing.
· Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly. Drink water and seek medical advice if feeling unwell.
