Yes — baking soda can help remove grease effectively, especially for light to moderate kitchen grease.
Baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate) works because it is:
- Slightly alkaline (helps break down grease)
- Mildly abrasive (helps scrub off stuck oil)
- Safe for most household surfaces
🧽 Where it works well
- Kitchen stoves and countertops
- Ovens (light grease)
- Pots and pans
- Sinks and tiles
- Greasy utensils
⚡ How to use it (simple methods)
🧴 1. Paste method (best for stuck grease)
- Mix baking soda + a little water
- Apply thick paste on greasy area
- Leave for 10–15 minutes
- Scrub and rinse
🧽 2. Sprinkle + scrub
- Sprinkle directly on grease
- Add a few drops of water or dish soap
- Scrub with sponge
🫧 3. With vinegar (extra cleaning boost)
- Baking soda + vinegar creates fizz
- Helps loosen grime
- Good for drains and sinks
⚠️ Limitations
- Not strong enough for very heavy, old grease alone
- May need dish soap or degreaser for tough buildup
- Avoid using on delicate polished surfaces without testing
🧠 Bottom line
Baking soda is a safe, cheap, and effective natural degreaser, especially for everyday kitchen cleaning — but works best when combined with scrubbing or soap.
