grease buildup

Kitchen surface film

Grease buildup is the gradual accumulation of oily residue on surfaces, especially in kitchens where cooking oils and fats collect on stovetops, range hoods, and vents over time.

The term applies wherever grease deposits thicken through repeated exposure: The grease buildup in the exhaust fan was a fire hazard.

Removing it typically requires degreasers or heavy scrubbing.
