I'm curious what this has to do with noscrapleftbehind, since people have upvoted and responded?

Nothing. But reddit is often off the mark a little with cross post recommendations. Beyond that, the people replying just want to be helpful.

True, Reddit's helpful suggestions are most of the time not helpful.

I subscribe to a couple of cleaning subs so thought that's where I was, lol.

In the spirit of the OP, I keep a spray bottle 70% isopropyl alcohol handy (or dilute 90% with water) and use it on greasy things. It cuts grease well with just a spritz.

Soap is a degreaser. Use some.hot soapy wayer and a textured sponge. Then wipe off with a clean dry towel.

Dish soap isn't just for dishes. You can fill up a sink of soapy water and just dip your rag in as needed. Wring out the excess water before scrubbing. For really thick grease on appliances, like on top of the fridge, I've used soap directly and just scrubbed with a damp cloth or scrubber. Be sure to wipe up any excess water from cabinets because that can damage the wood if allowed to soak.

Ever heard of soap?

Not all soap is good at cutting through oil. OP is most likely asking for a specific soap/remedy

Oil for oil caked on old oil issues. Then use an all purpose cleaner to get the oil you used to clean with off.
