How do I get built up grease off a kitchen wall?

Question

Am going to paint my kitchen, but 1st the grease has 2 be removed. Can anyone tell me what to use? Preferablly something I can buy at the store. And won't have to break our hands scrubbing it so hard. A friend told me that maybe Fanstastik might do the job. I remember using it and the dirt and grime and grease rolled down the walls. Anyone help me??

Answer 1

Yeah they sell sprays at any wal-mart or hardware stores that gets rid of the grease. One thing that I find really works well is the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. We used it on our stove and it looks brand new. Good Luck..

Answer 2

Fantastik or 409 will do the job. So will Simple Green.

Answer 3

Before painting always clean with TSP.  It is located in the Paint department of the hardware store and is inexpensive.
