Hi Judy! A good all purpose cleaner such as tsp should get them clean for you. After that they make awesome metal paints now. If you do a search in Amazon for Rust-Oleum the variety of colors and types might give you some ideas!

Tsp is really hard core stuff but I've found for cabinets nothing works better. Good luck and happy New year!
Hi Judy, TSP stands for trisodium phosphate and you can find it at most hardware stores. It's used as a general cleaning agent, stain remover, and degreaser.
