How do I clean 25 year old cupboards?

The outside of my cupboards have not been cleaned thoroughly in years, just a wipe now and then. It looks like I will need a scrub brush to clean them. They are light brown wood.

    I used ammonia water on mine. It cuts through the grease really well. Use old cotton rags. Mine turned out great. Economical too

    Have you tried magic erasers?

    TSP or Krud Kutter.

    Depending on how long between them having been “deep” cleaned, where they’re located and how often my grands and great grands have made “Peabula, jerry sanliches” I’ll steam them then wipe them dry. No detergents or soaps needed with steam.

    I used Krud Kutter You spray it on and let it set abit and wipe off with a damp microfiber cloth. You let it set a minute. I did this and then used furniture restore. My twenty year old cabnets look new.
