My Secret Weapon in the Kitchen #DawnBeyondtheSink
After slaving away in my kitchen preparing meals for my family, spending more time cleaning up is not my favourite thing to do. Unfortunately cooking often leaves greasy stains throughout the kitchen to clean up. Sometimes the grease spots will go undetected for a few days and become hard-to-remove, requiring a whole lot of elbow grease to scrub out.
Of course elbow grease alone isn’t enough to tackle the gunk found in most well-used kitchens and while commercial grease cleaners can do the trick, I am here to share a simple tip with you that will change your life and get you back to enjoying that glass of wine you so deserve.
Seriously this is a game changer and you probably already love and use the secret ingredient: DAWN!
Dawn is the only dish soap my family uses, it cut grease off dishes better than anything else but did you know that is also a pretty awesome secret weapon for greasy messes throughout your home from kitchen surfaces, to laundry pre-treating, to greasy tools, or car wheels and bike tires… nothing beats Dawn at getting them clean.
When grease escapes your frying pan, use Dawn to remove it from most kitchen surfaces using these three easy steps:
- Apply a squirt of Dawn to a sponge/dish cloth under warm running water.
- Scrub the greasy surface, and watch Dawn put grease in its place.
- Dry the surface with a paper towel and that’s it.
Let’s see that in action now. I tested with the remains of making spaghetti and meatballs. I pan fry my meatballs which results in the best meatballs you will ever taste but it also creates the greasiest mess you will ever see. I let that grease sit there overnight before tackling it with my new secret weapon. I just didn’t want it to be too easy of a challenge for dawn.
Just look at that. The Dawn literally wipes away all the grease without scrubbing and I am left with a sparking white stove-top again. This trick works great on other kitchen surfaces too such as cabinet doors, counter-tops and more!

My worst is when my husband cooks bacon and eggs. The grease from the bacon splashes all over our glass top stove and it’s so hard to get all the mess up. I have to try dawn. We use it for our dishes and I never thought to use it on our stove.

myu worse kitchen cleaning job is the stove. family loves fried food and the oil splatter kills me
The stove is always my worst kitchen cleaning job! I stink at wiping it down it after every use, so it builds up. And of course, takes forever to get it all off. I just did it a few days ago and it is already building up again! I just have no ambition really. I use Dawn for our dishes and never thought to use it on the stove! That was a Homer Simpson “DOH” moment when I read that in your post! Definitely going to be trying it this weekend!
the fridge!!
freezer breakdown
The worst cleaning job, I would have to say is the floors. I really do not mind cleaning anything else.
I was very ill one night when my 3 sons were little. I went to lie down and they had a spinach, oatmeal and yogurt war. Their dad came home to that. It was everywhere.
Dried-on cheese is the worst for me. Especially if it didn’t get rinsed and sat out over night!
I hate cleaning the large roasters.
My worst kitchen cleanup job was when I dropped the roaster as I took it out of the oven…..ham, juice, veggies….everywhere. Greasy, nasty mess!
I would say cleaning out the roasting pan is the biggest.
My worst is getting the baked on stuff off of the stove top
My worst clean up jobs are after my husband cooks on the stove, he always makes a big mess.
I hate cleaning the stove especially if a dish has spilled in it. OMG it’s the worst/
OMG! My worst by far is the range hood!! My taller than me Hubs is constantly reminding me how yucky it is. BUT, like the top of the fridge, if I can’t see it, it isn’t dirty! If YOU can see it, CLEAN it!!!
