How to clean my kitchen cabinets from grease?
+60
My kitchen cabinets are embarrassingly greasy. Please share your degreasing tips with me so I don't have to cringe every time I glance at my cabinets.
Suggested Project Book
If they are wood, start with Murphy's Oil Soap. You can also use vinegar.
I use warm soapy Dawn rag and dry off quickly. Sometimes Murphy's oil soap is too strong on some woods. I've seen it strip the finish before. Use it carefully if you do.
to degrease kitchen cabinets:
1/2 c Borax
1 c distilled vinegar
1 gallon of very hot water
Stir until dissolved, then scrub
Dollar Tree degreaser and microfiber cloth will do the job. Wear gloves because it will pull the oils from your hands. Also a mask because as you spray the degreaser it will get in you lungs. If you need to scrub, you can make a baking soda & peroxide paste. i scrub with a toothbrush.
Here's three things to try Bertha! A degreaser dishsoap or vinegar, or a baking soda solution! Hopefully all things you already have at home!

Hello, I tend to use a soapy water Dawn solution for mild weekly cleaning and Murphy’s oil soap for more moderete cleaning jobs. Murphy's oil soap is an excellent all purpose wood cleaner.
For greasy kitchen cabinets -I would suggest Krud Kutter

Mix a 50/50 solution of vinegar and warm water and put into a spray bottle. Mist on cabinets, let sit for a minute or two and then wipe clean with a soft cloth. Add a few drops of liquid dish washing detergent (Blue Dawn Detergent works the best on grease) to the vinegar and water solution to clean extremely grimy cabinets.
You could try Borax and white vinegar
I use plain Windex applied with a soft t-shirt. It may take a couple of tries, but it usually works really well.
White, undiluted vinegar cuts through grease on cabinets. Apply with a rag. After application, rinse rag with warm water and wipe down cabinets.
409 or Fantasik - both contain degreasers.
Ammonia water... stinks like crazy when you're using it, but I've never had anything work as good!
CINCH!!!! (that is the product name!) Spray it on--- grease is GONE! You can even get away without rinsing! How easy is THAT-- now then the product is sometimes rather hard to find. But once you use it-- you'll never need anything else!
Cooking oil and salt. Toothbrush to get in corners an crevasses. Wipe off then wash with soap and water.
I used Simple Green in my restaurant kitchen when I had it and now I use it in my home kitchen. Works like a charm. It is great.
Make a bucket of warm water, a quarter cup of white vinegar and a couple squirts of Dawn dish soap. (Dawn dish soap is the best product to use when dealing with grease and grime.) Clean the cabinets until the grease is gone. Then use Murphy's Oil Soap as directed on the bottle. The soap will clean anything left behind and the oil will condition the wood. Good luck and Happy Holidays.
You can use Purple Power or Krud Cutter to clean your cabinets, just make sure you rinse them off really well. After you clean them consider applying poly to keep them easy to clean.
check our GP66. My go to for almost everything
I used combination of vinegar and blue dawn dish detergent in a spray bottle. More vinegar than dawn. Spray and let sit for a few moments and then ...wipe off.
I use dish soap on a sponge to clean grease off everything... even cabinets.
Goo Gone is our go to grease and sticky stuff remover. You need to wash with soap and water well after using it. TSP is also a great cleaner, but wear gloves and also rinse well after.
I just did this in the last week for a friend who has rental units. The previous tenants apparently are unfamiliar with the entire concept of cleaning, so there was a couple years grease on the kitchen cabinets. Krud Kutter and a microfiber cloth worked wonders. I used the kind that comes in the gallon jug - mixed about 1/2 cup in a gallon of warm water and scrubbed. I changed the gross water often. It can take a little paint or finish off, but it gets stuff clean (best to wear gloves, btw, as it is pretty tough on skin). I haven't tried the spray version that K. Rupp recommended above, but I am sure it would work beautifully, too. Using a microfiber cloth makes a good bit of difference, too, as they are good for scrubbing without scratching.
Kaboom cleaner
Make a thick paste of baking soda and white vinegar. Scrub with a child's toothbrush. Wipe clean. Then finish off with OrangeGlo.
Here's the advise my cabinet builder gave me: Remember your cabinets are a piece of wooden furniture. Clean them like you would a coffee table or dresser. NO WATER!
Keep in mind if you use Murphy's Oil Soap, it will need to be rinsed so for that reason alone I don't use it on any wooden items.
OrangeGlo for light cleaning
A paste of baking soda & hydrogen peroxide apply with a scrub brush for medium build up
Kitchen and wood safe degreaser like GP66 or Fuller’s for heavy build up
Mr Clean magic erasers and baking soda
TSP will get the grease off ( rinse well) then use Murphy's Oil Soap to remove any residue from the TSP.
Hello, hope this helps you out, Create a cleaning solution with 1-part baking soda, 2 parts warm water and the lemon juice. Add the solution to a spray bottle and spray the liquid onto the kitchen cabinets. Leave for 2-3 minutes, allowing the baking soda to work its magic. Use the soft sponge to gently scrub the grease away.
Dawn dish detergent on a soapy tag
Dollar tree has a product that is perfect for grease.. it is called Awesome
product from Dollar Tree called Awesome is the best
product from Dollar Tree called Awesome is the best
My advice would be to change up your Kitchen cabinet doors & drawer front for somthing very smooth and washable. Something you could wash over every week with Flash! or Steam Clean, or stop frying and using greasy product - Change your diet?
Use corn starch! After cleaning with Murphy's oil soap and still sticky in the small area that gets touched most often, I rubbed some corn starch and wow, that worked. Might have to apply next time after wiping cabinet down, but I would rather do that than deal with a sticky cabinet.
Vinegar will cut through the grease.
I take lestoil straight on a wet cleaning cloth,, wash off that, then take isopropyl alcohol and spray and wipe that. Then if nothing more comes off I get acrylic paint and coat them. Then they look all new, bright and gives me a lift with new cabinets.
Dawn dish liquid is the very best at cutting grease. Just use as hot of way as your hands can tolerate with the the soap. It’s inexpensive and as long as you’re careful to dry them really well it won’t cause any damage to your cabinets.
