Start with either a vinegar water solution or dawn dish soap. Or Murphy's Oil Soap. If those don't work, bring out the TSP, that will clean anything.
Get Purple Power cleaner degreaser from Walmart. It really takes grease off. And only $5 a gallon.
Another vote for vinegar. Use it at a higher strength for bad grease.
This may sound odd, but it WORKS. I use a degreaser from the auto shop. It will not harm your cabinets. First I remove the doors (usually the worst) and work a small area like 6 inches by 6 inches with a toothbrush and let it set for ten minutes or so. Then using the brush work the degreaser into the wood. Wipe it with a damp cloth and repeat as needed. It will take it all off. Here is a photo of the degreaser
Vinegar with water works for me really well
That thing is a beauty! I would stick with natural cleansers like vinegar and baking soda for sure !
baking soda & peroxide paste with toothbrush to scrub
Fuller or GP66 degreaser are wood safe. Others are as well but I'm not sure which brands.
Odorless mineral spirits removes dirt and grease with little effort. Use rubber gloves, a rag and have a well ventilated room. Follow manufacturers Instructions.
TSP or Krud Kutter. A mixture of Dawn dish liquid and hot water.

Thank you
Thank you everyone for your answers. I used krud kutter. I sprayed it on and the grease just came right off. There were a few spots I had to do it several times but I'm attaching a picture hopefully you can see the difference.
