The Pink Stuff is a mechanical cleaner that uses a mildly abrasive quartz-based suspension to remove surface-level oxidation and burnt-on food. Unlike chemical sprays that dissolve grease, this formula uses friction to lift stains. It is particularly effective for cleaning oven glass, scorched cookware, and tile grout. Because it is 99% natural, it produces fewer volatile organic compounds, making it more comfortable for use in smaller, enclosed spaces like bathrooms.
However, the abrasive nature of the product means it is not suitable for all surfaces. It can create micro-marring on soft plastics, non-stick coatings, and high-gloss finishes. Users should apply it with a damp microfiber cloth and use "elbow grease" to modulate the pressure. Thorough rinsing is necessary after cleaning to prevent a white, chalky silica film from remaining on the surface.
For a non-abrasive approach to kitchen grease that requires less physical scrubbing, the Method Heavy Duty Degreaser uses a liquid surfactant system.
