How do I get grease and dirt, mainly cigarette stains off my cabinets?
I need to find something to clean my kitchen cabinets made of whitewashed oak without removing the finish. Thanks for your help.

Linn Andreassen Talge on Dec 11, 2015I always use ammonia to get rid of the nicotine and grease from my kitchen, and to avoid the nasty fumes, I put it in ice-water... I take a bucket of cold water, add lots of ice cubes and then the ammonia... With a microfiber cloth the fat and nicotine comes off in a jiffy, believe it or not! I use the same mix for washing the walls and ceiling...Helpful Reply

Mardie Moran on Dec 11, 2015Awesome - purchased at Dollar Store, if diluted half and half - spray on and wipe off with a wet rag. It will streak if you leave it on so wipe off quickly!Helpful Reply

Linda Johnson on Dec 12, 2015I used TSP & water on the oak cabinets in our old house. It worked great. You need to use gloves because it's hard on your hands. I had to change the water frequently because the bucket of TSP (Trisodiumphosphate) & water would get thick from the cigarette film.Helpful Reply

Billie on Dec 14, 2015Mild solution of purple power, lemons, or murphys oil soap. I have used all 3. Purple power is a chemical - on wood I would dilute it a lot, but it will remove nicotine extremely well. Test in an inconspicuous place. Lemons may bleach the wood - Murphys oil soap will clean as well as treat the wood & make them shine.Helpful Reply
