Most alkaline cleaners have the word hydroxide in their list of
ingredients. Lye is sodium hydroxide, for an example.

Alkalines turn grease into soap, a process called saponification.
It's how folks used to make soap. Lye mixed with animal fats, and
then heat.

You can do the same, and the resulting soap rinses off the walls
easier than dried grease.
