KH-7 is a high-concentration degreaser that serves as a bridge between standard kitchen sprays and industrial automotive cleaners. It uses an organic solvent profile to target the bonds of carbonized fats, making it highly effective for grills, ovens, and even engine blocks. Despite its strength, it is formulated without lye, making it more comfortable for skin contact than traditional caustic cleaners, although the use of gloves is still a practical recommendation.
A key usage rule for KH-7 is to avoid letting it dry on the surface, especially on porous stone or automotive clear coats, as it can cause "ghosting." On food-contact surfaces, a thorough rinse is required to remove the surfactant slick. The ergonomic 26 oz bottle is built for high stress-crack resistance, ensuring the penetrative solvents don't degrade the plastic over time. It is a functional "workhorse" for those who prioritize cleaning power over fragrance.
If you prefer a foaming cleaner for vertical surfaces like oven doors, the Zep Foam Degreaser provides excellent dwell time without runoff.
