What's the best product to remove grime from cabinets & prep to paint?

Are used automotive wheel cleaner. Spray it on and the grime just runs off. Rinse well with white vinegar and water solution

TSP or TSP substitute. In the paint aisle at the hardware or big box stores. Can be messy but if you follow the directions the results are really good.

Clean with degreaser products, if really bad use Napha. Sand off sheen, prime with oil based primer, lightly sand, apply 2 coats of oil based paint.

TSP is the best solution. You may need to constantly dump and make more on really grimy cabinets.

Last July we cleaned an apartment that we got one swipe on each side of the rag before the rag was solid brown and after rinsing it, the TSP had to be dumped, so at first don’t make a big pail of TSP water until you know how often you will need to change it.

I hope that helps

Enjoy your new kitchen!

TSP is your best bet. You can buy it in the paint department of the big box stores.
