A grease-fighting dishwashing liquid such as Dawn dish soap is also effective at cleaning greasy cabinets. Just add two or three teaspoons of dishwashing liquid to two cups of warm water in a spray bottle. Spray this solution on the grease marks and fingerprints on your kitchen cabinets. Wipe with a soft cloth. Dry the areas with a clean soft cloth. Repeat as necessary to remove all the grease.

If the dishwashing liquid and water mixture needs a little boost, grab the baking soda. First mix a paste of baking soda and water, then apply it to those greasy spots with a soft cloth. Rub gently with the grain. Wipe it off with a clean cloth.

White Vinegar and Baking Soda

For even more cleaning power, make a paste of baking soda and vinegar. Apply to the grease on one area at a time and work into the stain following the grain of the wood. Wipe off with a damp cloth and then dry with a clean cloth.

Another homemade solution to clean greasy cabinets starts with white vinegar. Combine one part vinegar to one part water in a spray bottle. Add a couple drops of dishwashing liquid. The vinegar helps the dishwashing liquid break down grease. Wet a soft cloth with this mixture, then rub the greasy spots thoroughly. Rinse with a small amount of water and dry with a clean cloth.

    great for raw wood but be careful if your cabinets have a polyurethane finish. abrasives, even mild ones like baking soda, can break down the finish.

    just use murphy’s oil soap and warm water, dry with a dry cloth,cuts through grease like nothing, good for cleaning stove top as well.

    also make a “paste of baking soda and peroxide ,little water, to get the “yellow stains ” from the underarms of white clothing.
