What are some good ways to clean cooking grease spills?

Clean cooking grease spills on surfaces by applying water and baking soda to the affected areas, then wiping the mixture away with a wet cloth. Sprinkle cornstarch on a dry cloth to rub the stain away. Talcum powder and chalk also work well to absorb grease.

To remove cooking grease from fabrics, apply a small amount of liquid dish soap to the stain, and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Run the fabric through the washing machine, and repeat if necessary. Food grease stains can also be removed from fabrics by applying a few drops of standard hair shampoo to the affected area, allowing it to set, then laundering the garment as usual.
