Grease buildup in kitchenNew York, New York

Sticky grease film builds up on kitchen cabinets, range hoods, backsplashes, and above-stove surfaces over time. Regular wiping can't dissolve baked-on grease layers, especially on textured surfaces and inside exhaust hood filters. Left untreated, grease buildup becomes a fire hazard and attracts pests. A deep cleaning service uses commercial degreasers and steam cleaning to remove years of buildup safely.
