A Surprising Solution for Persistent Stovetop Grease: Harness the Power of Vaseline

Stovetop grease — it’s the relentless, sticky grime that seems to multiply overnight. No matter how often you wipe it down, that greasy film keeps coming back, especially around burners, knobs, and under the grates.

While most people reach for degreasers, vinegar sprays, or scrubbing pads, there’s an unexpected household item that can help — and it’s probably already in your bathroom cabinet.

Vaseline. Yes, that Vaseline.

Here’s how this classic petroleum jelly can actually prevent and combat stubborn stovetop grease buildup — and why it might just become your new favorite kitchen cleaning hack.

🧴 Why Vaseline Works on Grease

Vaseline (petroleum jelly) is a smooth, oily substance that repels water and moisture — and more importantly for our purposes, it creates a barrier between surfaces and sticky substances like grease and grime.

It doesn’t clean grease per se, but when used strategically, Vaseline can:

• Loosen hardened grease and gunk.
• Protect surfaces from future buildup.
• Make cleaning easier over time by reducing stickiness.

🔧 How to Use Vaseline on a Greasy Stovetop

What You’ll Need:

• Vaseline (any brand of petroleum jelly)
• A clean microfiber cloth or paper towel
• Mild dish soap and warm water (for prep cleaning)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Clean the Area First
   • Wipe down your stovetop with warm soapy water or your preferred degreaser.
   • Dry it thoroughly — Vaseline works best on clean, dry surfaces.
2. Apply a Thin Layer of Vaseline
   • Take a small amount of Vaseline on your fingertip or a cloth.
   • Rub a very thin layer over high-grease areas: around burners, under grates, near knobs, or even on metal backsplashes.
3. Buff It In
   • Use a clean, dry cloth to gently buff the Vaseline into the surface. It should leave a slight shine, but not feel greasy or sticky to the touch.
