If TSP doesn't work for me then I use Super Clean, it is a cleaner/ degreaser. I buy it in Walmart in the automotive dept. It comes in a purple gallon jug for about $17.00. way cheaper than pre mixed spray bottle. I think the ratio is like 1 part to 16 parts water. It also comes in a spray bottle pre mixed .I make up a spray bottle and if its a really greasy or dirty area I pour some straight on a rag and just wipe it on then leave it for a few minutes then wipe it off. I used this after being frustrated trying to clean dirty grout on a backsplash that had not been cleaned for 30 yrs. and it cleaned up really well. I found this great cleaner years ago when my husband used it to clean the engine of our cars. I think the only thing you cant clean with it is plastic. Good Luck

I find that 409 cuts dirt and grime so quickly. Murphy's Soap cuts grease too on wood!

The old fashioned way, baking soda and vinegar, then scrub off with a scrubby sponge. The grease comes off like grey play doh.

Twenty Mule Team Borax, water and a little dish detergent. After they are dry, rub them with dryer sheets. It helps repel dust.

If you plan on repainting, try any engine degreaser. There is a really good product at our local Hardware store called, Holy Cow. Their degreaser is awesome & easy to use.

Simple green diluted with water - the concentrated kind, not the pre-mixed bottle. Be sure you rinse well afterward.

You'll think it sounds crazy... but baby wipes. They clean baseboards beautifully with no mess and little effort. They're all I use to clean my painted woodwork.

Moisten a fabric softener sheet and wipe them. May need to scrub a little. Sounds crazy, I know, but that's how I cleaned the greasy stove hood in house we bought.

Try the Clorox wipes....wrap them around a sponge so you have a more solid grip. My daughter taught me that one and works great on grease.

Two product I love to use one is vinegar the next is mister clean erasers. the vinegar hot water and soap cleans the grease and the mister clean eraser helps get into the cracks and a towel to dry make sure to dry well but next if you add clear wax to them next time it will be easy to clean next time. ope this helps Teresa

I know you've all thought of this but I always cut Magic Erasers in half or thirds so one isn't used up before it should be.

Brush the baseboards with a paintbrush, not the foam kind. This will dislodge loose dirt. Then follow up with one of the methods mentioned above.
