If your cabinets are made of oak the dark marks may be from opening the doors with wet hands. Moisture on oak causes dark discoloration and, once darkened, cannot be removed.
what is the finish on the cabinets
Try a mix of hot water, dish liquid and baking soda.

If the cabinets are very dirty, make a mixture with 1 tablespoon of grated coconut soap, 700 ml of water and 1 tablespoon of creamy soap. Place in a spray bottle, sneeze at the spot and rub with a dry sponge; This removes all stains and grease from the cabinets. To conserve, sprinkle alcohol vinegar and wipe with a flannel.
