How do I clean stubborn oil on kitchen walls?

There is a product called "SoilAx." It's in a red box and comes as a powder. It is very difficult to find, but sometimes hardware stores stock it. This product is AWESOME to remove grease and grime from kitchen walls and cabinets!

BE SURE TO WEAR GLOVES WHEN USING IT! It is so powerful that it destroys the oils in your skin.

If you cannot find SoilAx, try Simple Green. It is also very powerful, but I don't think it works as well as SoilAx.

The best way to prevent cooking oil stains on your kitchen cabinets is to install a good quality kitchen range hood over your stove and make sure it's positioned correctly. The fan should have an exhaust system that discharges the moist, odorous air outside. Avoid recirculating range hoods. They depend on carbon filters to capture grease. Filters are expensive to replace and rarely get replaced often enough. They soon become clogged and start to recirculate grease and moisture throughout your kitchen which ultimately ends up as a grimy coat on your cupboards.

If it is an grease base, try Dawn dishwashing liquid... add just enough water to get it to suds a bit and use a scrubby-sponge. It has taken nasty stuff off the walls but not stripped the paint. Best of luck!

A trick I used when I worked for an appliance company.Take your cleaner and a plastic top from say some oven cleaner or anything close.Spray on the cleaner and go in a circular motion with the plastic top over it.It should remove the oil without scratching :)

I'd use TSP. It is used to clean walls prior to painting. I just painted my kitchen and when I used the TSP it did not remove the paint. You can get it at a hardware store.

I use a spray called Grease Lighting and it works great. Read label to see what material you can use it on.

Try Mr Clean Erasure. I've used it before and it's taken some nasty stuff off my walls.

pour dawn dish liquid right on the spots and take a sos pad lightly to it it will come off

get some joy dish soap and vinegar, and scrub away. works good on carpet stains to.

try Mr. Clean magic erasers...they are awesome and work for everything!!!! and you won't have to leave the windows open to get that chemical smell out!!!
