Use Splatter Screens

When cooking on the stovetop, especially when frying, use splatter screens over pots and pans to prevent grease from splashing onto surfaces.

Regularly Clean Ventilation Systems

You need to ensure the hood and exhaust fan are clean and functioning properly. This helps to capture and remove airborne grease particles.

Clean Up Spills Immediately 

If grease spills onto surfaces, you need to wipe it up immediately. The longer you wait, the harder it is to remove, making the space oily and sticky.

Avoid Using Cooking Sprays

Place Mats And Liners

Consider placing mats or liners. These can be easily cleaned or replaced when there is an oil splatter. Mats and liners make it easier to clean unreachable areas.

Opt For Air Fryers

Try using an air fryer for frying purposes. It generally produces less mess and reduces the amount of grease in the air.
