Grease-cutting sprays that prove eco doesn’t have to mean weak.
When it comes to daily cleaning around ovens — think doors, hobs, trays, and splashbacks — a good degreaser is essential. But if you’re trying to go greener, the real challenge is finding one that works without compromising on power.
We’ve tested dozens of eco-labelled sprays and narrowed it down to just three that can genuinely handle everyday grease. These aren’t soft surface refreshers — they’re plant-based degreasers that can tackle oven grime, with the cleaning power to back up their eco claims.
Whether you’re cleaning after every use or tackling a couple of days’ build-up, these sprays deliver reliable results without the harsh chemicals — and most come with refill options to help reduce waste.

Verdict: A Small but Mighty Line-Up
Eco oven cleaners still have a long way to go when it comes to matching the raw power of traditional degreasers — but these three prove the gap is getting smaller.
Method leads the way, combining solid grease-cutting performance with a scent and user experience most mainstream sprays can’t match. Miniml is the best refillable challenger, offering real cleaning strength and a strong sustainability model without the big-brand baggage. The green company wins on innovation 8 tablets cost £9.95 giving an equivalent of 4L costing 25p per 100ml which is in line with some of the cheapest mainstream products in its category.
Together, they show that eco sprays are no longer just “nice tries.” They’re genuine everyday alternatives, especially for households cleaning frequently and wanting to avoid harsh chemical exposure.
FAQs
Q: Are these suitable for inside the oven?
Yes — all three are safe for use on oven doors, trays, and hobs. Just avoid using them on hot surfaces and always check labels before applying directly inside a heated cavity.
Q: Can eco sprays really remove grease?
Yes — but only the stronger ones. Many eco sprays are too gentle for greasy areas, which is why only the top 3 here made the cut. These products can handle light-to-moderate oven grease with regular use.
Q: Why only 3 products in the list?
We don’t pad out the rankings. Only sprays that meet high standards for both cleaning performance and eco credentials were included. Others were excluded for being too weak or lacking transparency.
