German term or phrase: Fettlöser
Hello all,

I'm working on a series of documents about cleaning products for use in industrial kitchens/canteens/catering facilities.

One of the products is described as a "Fettloeser". All that springs to my mind is "grease dissolver". Anyone got the technical term?

Thanks a lot!!

Hilary ;-)
