Cleaning/removing grease spots

[Sandy]

Any ideas for easier removal of those yellow tiny grease spots, from
frying/sauteing foods, that get on your range hood and nearby cabinets? I
want to use something that will dissolve them.I tried Bon Ami, dish
detergent, and Windex, but these all seem to just get rid of a few of the
spots-and with lots of scrubbing! Help,please from some kind person! Any
advice would be great. Sandy

Dawn Power Dissolver does a good job. Be sure to read the label because you
can't use it on all surfaces. If you decide to use it on your cabinets, try
it on an inconspicuous area like the inside of a drawer face to make sure it
doesn't discolor the finish. You might also get some mineral spirits,
preferable the odorless type. Saturate a rag and wipe down the surfaces.
Be sure to dispose of the rag properly (in an airtight container with some
water) because it could spontaneously combust and cause a fire.

Formula 409 now has a "pro 409" version that is a "degreaser and all purpose
cleaner." I've used it and it seems to be a little tougher on grease than the
original. You should be able to find it right near the regular 409 on store
shelves, although I seem to recall buying it in the hardware department at
Wal-Mart. Check both places!

A lye product (oven cleaner) will dissolve grease. Look for sodium
hydroxide in the active ingredient. Rinse well. Wear rubber gloves and
eye protection. Buy a splatter screen.

Thanks soo much. I just marked down the Dawn Power Dissolver on my shopping
list. Sandy

Thanks so much! I'm also going to try the pro 409. Sandy

You are right! I should use a splatter screen. I have one,but often forget
to use it. My son is a chef and when he is here,cooking- forget it!!-He has
things frying and flying around the kitchen. He probably thinks he's at the
restaurant! I think I will try something a little less toxic and less
harmful to the environment than lye though.But thanks for your helpful
suggestions. Sandy

I have tried bleach - little by little I am working on a wall that has those
dot of grease on them - old ones too - they are coming off - I used a veggie
brush on a window with those same dots on -
