A step-by-step method for using Power Bac RTU Cleaner Degreaser trigger spray on kitchen grease, with checkpoints that stop common mistakes.

Quick answer

Use Power Bac RTU Cleaner Degreaser straight from the 1-litre trigger spray: clear loose food, mist the greasy surface, let it dwell briefly, then wipe or rinse before the soil dries back on. Work in small sections so you can control dwell time rather than soaking the whole kitchen at once.

Why a ready-to-use degreaser changes the job

A ready-to-use formula removes the mixing step that often goes wrong with concentrated degreasers. With Power Bac RTU Cleaner Degreaser, you are not guessing a dilution ratio or topping up a bottle mid-task, so the same strength goes onto every surface.

The trade-off is that you cannot dial the strength up for burnt-on carbon. For heavy baked-on grease, give the spray more dwell time and a second pass rather than assuming a stronger mix will fix it. The product is described as odourless, which matters in food preparation areas where lingering fragrance is unwanted.

Where the trigger spray works best, and where it does not

Trigger sprays are strongest on vertical and reachable surfaces: splashbacks, cupboard fronts, fridge seals, prep tables and the outside of ovens. The 1-litre format keeps the bottle light enough to carry around a kitchen.

They are weaker on large floor areas and on surfaces you cannot rinse. If a surface is not suitable for a sanitiser cleaner, do not use this product on it. Check the surface manufacturer's advice first, and patch-test anything painted, polished or sealed.

Safety and storage points before you start

The supplied catalog information references COSHH data for the product, so treat it as a chemical cleaner rather than a generic spray. Keep the six bottles stored upright, labelled and out of reach of children, and decant only into a clearly labelled trigger bottle.

Do not transfer the cleaner into an unmarked drinks bottle or a food container. In a busy kitchen, the most common safety failure is a mislabelled bottle left on a prep surface.

Step-by-step: degreasing a greasy surface

Clear and pre-remove loose soil: Scrape food debris and wipe up loose fat with a disposable cloth before spraying. Mistake to avoid: spraying over crumbs, which turns them into a paste that is harder to wipe off. If the surface still feels tacky after wiping, repeat the pre-clean before spraying.
Spray a light, even mist: Hold the trigger about 15–20 cm from the surface and mist one manageable section. Mistake to avoid: flooding the surface until the cleaner runs down cupboards and onto the floor. Spray low-to-high on vertical panels so runs do not streak clean areas.
Let it dwell, then agitate: Allow a short dwell time so the degreaser can lift the grease, then agitate with a cloth or non-scratch pad. Mistake to avoid: scrubbing immediately, which uses up the product before it has worked. Do not let the spray dry on the surface; re-mist if it starts to evaporate.
Wipe and rinse the residue: Wipe away the loosened grease with a clean cloth, then rinse or wipe with a damp cloth. Mistake to avoid: leaving a degreaser film on food-contact surfaces. Use a fresh cloth for the final wipe; a dirty cloth just moves grease back onto the surface.
Inspect and repeat only where needed: Check the surface in raking light for missed patches, then repeat on stubborn spots rather than spraying the whole area again. Mistake to avoid: a second full pass that wastes product and leaves excess residue. If a patch resists two passes, increase dwell time before increasing the amount sprayed.
Store the bottle correctly: Close the trigger nozzle, wipe the bottle, and store it upright with the other cleaning chemicals. Mistake to avoid: leaving the spray on a prep table where it can be mistaken for a food-safe spray. Keep the COSHH data with the six-pack so staff can check it during inductions.
