Removing grease from kitchen backsplash

Well we don't even have a backsplash just a satin finish paint behind our cooktop. It has a lot of built up grease splatter and I'm trying to find the best product to get it off. Help!!

Have you tried any of the orange cleaner degreasers? Those work pretty well.

Simple green cleaner and a sponge with hot water works too.

Oh, one other idea. Boil water in the back burner so the steam hits the wall. Then try the cleaning. It loosens the grease and makes it easier .

Ammonia (straight) - wear gloves and open many windows.

This sounds insane, but it works on so many things.  Buy one of the 3M dish wand scrubbers and fill with normal dish soap.  Make sure the sponge is saturated wet.  It works amazing on cooktops, microwaves, stubborn counters, and grease.  And as long as you don't scrub crazy hard, it shouldn't disrupt the paint at all.  http://www.amazon.com/3M-550-12-Scotch-Brite-Dishwand/dp/B0000CEW4O

It's what we tell our nasty college students to use so they don't get biled at the end of the year for not cleaning.  Our college custodian tipped us off to it :)

 I totally had a dream about this thread. ihni who I was talking to or who said what but the conversation was something like - "how can that possibly worth without rubbing the paint off?" It was funny. I was thinking about this and trying to remind myself to buy some of these next time I run to the store so it must have stayed on my mind when I fell asleep. ;)
