Antigrease dish soap is made with extra-deep-clean surfactants that eat through thick layers of kitchen grease and oil on plates, pots, pans, and utensils. It mixes in tough surfactants that bond to grease, break it apart, and turn it into tiny droplets that rinse off quickly. Many formulas add alkaline boosters or natural enzymes that continue the work on baked-on residue, even stuff that has hardened over weeks. Because of this, the soap is often thicker, letting it stick to vertical spots like pot sides or oven racks so the cleaner can seep in. It shines on gear used for frying, grilling, or baking greasy foods, where regular dish soap just swirls the residue around. The formula works great by hand or in the dishwasher, and some versions cut power use by cleaning in cold water. By going after grease at its source, antigrease dish soap makes heavy-duty clean-up faster and leaves dishes sparkling and ready to use again.
