Washing up liquid is perfectly formulated for kitchen oils and fats

But from experience, not as vicious as SS.

It's one thing that seems to still work like it should and not been
weakened by eco regs.

Whilst you need to wash off as much as you can (as that's what carries
the dissolved grease away), you will not be able to wash all the cleaner
off. Some SS residue is usually OK to paint over, but I would not be so
sure about washing up liquid residue, and cheaper WU liquids are
sometimes loaded with lots of salt too, a combination which might
end up attracting moisture.

Two suggestions:
Strong caustic soda
Ammonia

Caustic tends to leave porous surfaces forever deliquescent. Not a good
base for paint.
Sugar soap has contained various things over the years, most of which
behave similarly.
