I had a show this afternoon and one of the guest was asking about a Grease Mop that we carried a few years back. I am not sure when the product was here. She states that it is a product that you would hold over the item you are cooking and the fabric would pull the grease out. Then you only needed to put the mop top in the dishwasher.

Does anyone know what she is talking about?

Thank you in advance for any help.

It used to be in the PC line before I was a consultant. I think it WAS called the Grease Mop... you were supposed to be able to swirl it in the top of soup, gravy or other such dishes and the fat was supposed to stick to it. I did buy one but I personally didn't care for it - didn't seem to work for me. Every once in a while though, I hear of someone who raves about it or is disappointed that we no longer carry it.
 
Just talking about this productIt apparently still shows up in the mystery boxes at conference, although I bought 3 boxes but did not get one.

I heard that is worked great getting grease out of gravy and other foods, but it was difficult to clean and did not look or feel clean after cleaning. I would bet this is why PC no longer carries it.

Guest love it and want moreMy guest really wanted more she loved them. She said they were hard to clean if you didn't have a dishwasher. She said she just plops in the top and it would clean well. Or she would set it in the sink with dishwashing liquid and it would clean well.

I explained that it was before my time but would ask. Thank you all for your responses.

The mop......was called "Magic Mop" (product #2501). It was a PC exclusive item, but you can find similar items in houseware stores.
I had one, too and still have the original card. In spite of what she says, they were horrible to clean. Still, they were a joy to use with gravy. I used to wash it by hand, but one day decided to put mine in the dishwasher and ended up with a gritty Magic Mop. I didn't dare use it after that.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a grease mop and how is it used?

A grease mop is a specialized cleaning tool designed to absorb and remove grease and oil from surfaces, particularly in kitchens and cooking areas. It typically features a long handle and a mop head made from absorbent materials. To use it, simply dip the mop head into a cleaning solution or use it dry to wipe down greasy surfaces.

Can I use a grease mop on all types of surfaces?

While grease mops are effective on many surfaces, it's important to check the manufacturer's recommendations. Generally, they work well on hard surfaces like tile, stainless steel, and concrete. However, avoid using them on delicate surfaces that may scratch or be damaged by abrasive materials.

How do I clean and maintain my grease mop?

To clean your grease mop, rinse the mop head with warm water and a mild detergent after each use. For deeper cleaning, you can soak it in a solution of water and vinegar. Make sure to let it dry completely before storing it to prevent mold and odors. Replace the mop head as needed when it becomes worn or less effective.

Where can I purchase a grease mop?

Grease mops can be found at various retailers, including kitchen supply stores, home improvement stores, and online marketplaces. Brands like Pampered Chef may offer their own versions, so check their catalog or website for options specifically designed for kitchen use.

Are there any safety precautions I should take when using a grease mop?

Yes, when using a grease mop, ensure that you are wearing appropriate protective gear, such as gloves, especially if you are using strong cleaning solutions. Also, be cautious of slippery surfaces after cleaning, and allow the area to dry before walking on it to prevent slips and falls.
