Step 6: Rinse and Dry the Cabinets
After scrubbing, it's time to remove any remaining cleaner. Wipe the cabinets down with a clean, damp cloth to rinse the surfacing, following with a dry microfiber cloth to prevent streaks and spots.
Step 7: Polish and Maintain Your Cabinets
To add an extra level of shine and protect the wood, consider applying a wood polish in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines. From now on, to avoid another heavy buildup of grease, wipe down the cabinet surfaces with a mild cleanser once a week.
Conclusion
With patience and elbow grease, you can transform your sticky and greasy kitchen cabinets into a sparkling part of your home once again. Remember to maintain a regular cleaning routine to keep them looking their best and to prevent future buildup. Happy cleaning!

Mix a few drops of dish soap or a degreasing cleaner into your bucket of warm water. If you prefer a natural cleaner, combine equal parts of water and white vinegar with a tablespoon of baking soda for an extra boost in grease-fighting power. You can add a few drops of essential oil for fragrance if you like.
Step 4: Begin Washing the Surfaces
Dip your cloth or sponge into the solution and wring out excess liquid. Start washing the cabinets, paying extra attention to areas with thick buildup. You can use the soft-bristled brush to gently scrub any particularly stubborn spots. Remember to regularly rinse your cloth or sponge to avoid spreading the grease.
Step 5: Tackle Tough Spots with Baking Soda Paste
Make a paste with baking soda and water for areas that are not responding to the liquid cleaner. Apply to the greasy spots, let it sit for a few minutes, and gently scrub with your brush. The natural abrasive nature of baking soda helps lift the grime without scratching the cabinets
