Struggling with a stubborn stove stain? What about greasy kitchen cabinets? Spray surfaces with Ecolab Heavy-Duty Citrus Degreaser, and grease stains disappear in minutes. I tested this degreaser on my stove, which had not been cleaned in an embarrassingly long amount of time, and I could see it working its magic before I even wiped the area. It has a citrusy scent I’ve grown to love in my many years of cleaning professional-grade and residential appliances.
This degreaser is perfect for mechanics, home cooks or anyone who frequently cleans grease stains. For more serious stains on automotive parts or outdoor appliances, add the heavy-duty citrus degreaser to a power washer.
The Ecolab Industrial Degreaser is formulated to clean kitchen equipment, including stove vents, ranges and ovens. It boasts nearly 100 five-star reviews on Home Depot from people who love using it on their grills, as well as bike chains, heavy machinery and sidewalks.
I decided to test this industrial degreaser on one of the most stubborn areas in my kitchen: a two-year-old grease stain on my stove’s lower-right burner. I saturated the spot with the industrial degreaser, let it sit for one minute and then took a Scrub Daddy to it. Much to my satisfaction, the stain dissolved on the first wipe. While it didn’t return the burner to like-new status from just one minute of work, I can confidently say this degreaser revived the burner. I’ll need to disassemble the stove to clean the burner completely, but I feel sure now that I have the right cleaning tool to tackle the job.
Wondering how to get mold stains off bathroom walls? The Ecolab Mold and Mildew Stain Remover revives any bathroom needing deep cleaning. The bleach-powered formula whitens indoor and outdoor surfaces and stains while transforming dirty tile grout.
Personally, I love this product for cleaning my tub and shower. As with other bleach cleaners, the solution must sit for a minute or two before being wiped with a clean cloth and warm water. This made quick work of my tub, which had some hard water stains. Because it’s quick and effective, I recommend treating mold stains with a small amount of solution to start.
If you’re looking for a bleach-free bathroom cleaner, the Ecolab Foaming Tub and Tile Cleaner is my preferred pick. This bleach-free bathroom cleaner is intended for showers, tubs and tiles. The best part? There’s no scrubbing required. All you have to do is rinse it with warm water for soap scum and stains to disappear.
This has quickly become my favorite cleaner simply because it’s scrub-free, and, let’s be honest, nobody wants to stand over a tub and put in hours of elbow grease. All you need is a little patience and a trusty washcloth, and your shower and tub are revived.
As someone with newly installed laminate flooring, I keep the Ecolab Hardwood and Laminate Floor Cleaner nearby at all times. Spray the solution directly on wood or laminate floors and finish with a mop. You can also apply it to baseboards, trims or cabinets and wipe it down with a paper towel. Or, use it to spot clean individual stains.
I’ve been using this to revive the floors from tracked-in dirt. I’m consistently impressed with how shiny and fresh my floors look and feel after applying the Ecolab floor cleaner.
Let’s face it—no one has the time to deep clean the kitchen or bathroom every week. Save time and trouble by stocking up on a quick, effective formula like the Ecolab Fast Action Foaming Degreaser.
In my testing experience, I was impressed by just how fast this degreaser works on years-old oven and stove stains. These stains dissolved minutes after I applied the degreaser and wiped it with a microfiber cleaning cloth.
