I've cleaned my wooden cabinets with Mr. Clean, baking soda, vinegar and Murphy's oil soap. The surface still has a sticky feel. Do you have any suggestions?
Mthank you

TSP or Spic and Span.
I've heard WD40 works, but haven't tried it. Good luck, and please let us know what you try and what does work
Sounds like a surface finish problem, not a cleaning problem. I cleaned mine with denatured alcohol. This is a wood stripping process. Not a cleaning solution and appropriate measures must be taken. Hand rubbed "Tung Oil" on the surfaces afterwards. Check out Lowes or Home Depot hardware stores. They carry specialized products just for this purpose. My wooden cabinets were in my 1925's home when I bought it over 40 years ago and are now back in style. I now use a paste of baking soda and undiluted Dawn for stubborn dirt. Best practice, wipe down as soon as dirty, I use my Dawn in soapy water, a disposable dish cloth or grab bag rag for maintaining.
I've used GREASED LIGHTENING and a Mr. Clean wonder sponge. Worked for mne
