Pour white distilled vinegar into a spray bottle and add a few drops of mild dish soap. Shake the bottle to mix everything together.
Saturate the cooked-on grease with the solution and wait 15 to 20 minutes.
Wipe the surface with a clean rag and then rinse the rag in warm water. Continue to wipe the surface until no more grease comes off. If cooked-on grease is still stuck to the stovetop, add additional vinegar solution to the top of the stove, wait 15 minutes and repeat the wiping process until it is all gone.
