Elbow grease, no seriously, use Jif or any de-greaser, even Ajax floor cleaner works with hot water. Good luck.

Washing powder is good for alot of cleaning.It is great for cleaning oven racks too.Mix a bit of washing powder in a bucket of water and then wipe on and clean, then clean bench as usual once the grease etc has come off.

Also that little steam cleaner thing that they advertise on the tele does a good job.

I use washing soda solution or methylated spirit. Washing soda works better for me, it doesn't have the odour.

Yes. I heard handy andy cleans jewellry well. I dont have much so havent tried it. But i just fill up my sink with hot water and then use straight dishwash detergent on a chux cloth for easy degreasing of rangehood and cupboards, oven and fridge and first wash for very dirty windows.

I have a kitchen Enjo glove and its absolutely brilliant on cleaning greasy surfaces.No scrubbing and just cold water.No residual chemicals or smells.
