I'm not entirely convinced of this, but I'll think about giving it a try.
When you mix vinegar with baking soda (another name for it here, don't know
if you call it that there), you get salt and water. Vinegar is an acid and
baking soda is a base, and when the two mix, salt and water is the result.
So it seems unlikely to me that salt water alone can cut through
grease, but it's vaguely possible that the reaction between the two
accomplishes something, so I'll give it a shot and see what happens.
