Emma Taylor on Mar 21, 2015Goop hand cleaner; in the auto section at WalMart. Under 2 bucks. Mechanics use it to get the grease off their hands. It is safe and green; I use it for all my wood furniture that needs a deep cleaning. If very greasy apply with 0000 steel wool, then wipe off with clean rag. Repeat until the wood feels very slick, not sticky.Helpful Reply

Rel1349504 on Mar 21, 2015Your idea for vinegar and baking soda will work wonders. Simply make a paste-like consistency in a small bowl or butter tub, rub it on with an old toothbrush or slightly larger brush. Leave it overnight if it's a really tough job. Wipe & rinse off with hot water & damp sponge.Helpful Reply

Cherie on Mar 21, 2015Most natural way is straight vinegar; second is orange oil (I've cleaned paint brushes with dried up paint with it!!) but don't get it on anything plastic and don't forget TSP!Helpful Reply

Muriel on Mar 21, 2015I use Goo-Gone. You don't have to rinse - wood will absorb just fine. I usually use cotton balls to clean a small area or a soft cloth. If it really dirty/greasy, spray on and let sit before rubbing. I use this in the motorhome and love the way it brightens the wood as well as cleaning.Helpful Reply

Lynda Benoit on Mar 21, 2015You can buy an all natural cleaner,similar to TSP at the hardware store. I have chemical sensitivities and this doesn't bother me.Helpful Reply

Duv310660 on Mar 21, 2015Counter intuitive, but you always clean grease with grease first, to get the most off. Use a lighter grease, substituting it for the heavier as you wipe it down & and rub out the stuck-on gunk (WD-40, baby oil, etc.). THEN go for the soap and/or degreasers; my favourite lately is to do 2-3 rounds of A. Dawn (suds up, rinse down and dry) + Murphys Soap. If you are prepping for paint, a final cycle with windex, 50-50 alcohol and vinegar or "green" TSP.Helpful Reply

Winter. i love everything old world rustic. on Mar 22, 2015Actually I would just spray with Pam or any aerosol veg oil and wipe hard. Then wash with hot water and Dawn. Fresh Greese cuts old greese (bizarre I know).Helpful Reply

Terrie Neudorf on Mar 23, 2015All I use is , vinegar and a couple of drops of blue dawn and if you like lemon or orange essential oils . When it's a tougher job I use Murphys oil soap. I've had nothing more natural that works better and there's a lot of wood in my house . If it's really sticky use goo gone in only those spots and rinse .Helpful Reply

MaryLou on Mar 23, 2015My sister and I just cleaned my kitchen cabinets with Dawn and vinegar water. Scrubbed them using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser in some spots (around some handles mostly). Let them dry thoroughly over night. Then painted them with Old English oil and let that soak in over night. I am extremely pleased as to how they turned out!Helpful Reply
