How do you get grease off of wood cabinets?

To remove grease from wood cabinets, scrub with a solution of liquid detergent and warm water, then rinse the wood with water before applying a baking soda paste directly on the grease stains. Finally, scrub the stains, and rinse the cabinets with clean water.

1. Create cleaning solution

   In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of grease-fighting liquid detergent with 2 cups of water. Gently stir until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

2. Wash the cabinets

   Dip a clean sponge or cloth in the cleaning solution. Scrub the grease stains gently. Do not use an abrasive sponge, as it may damage the wood surface.

3. Rinse away the solution

   Fill a spray bottle with cold water, and spray to rinse away the cleaning solution. Wipe the area dry with a clean towel.

4. Create grease-fighting paste

   Combine 1-part vegetable oil with 2-parts baking soda in a small mixing bowl. Stir the ingredients together until it becomes a paste.

5. Apply paste to grease stains

   With your fingers, apply a liberal coating of paste on grease stains. Allow the paste to soak for several minutes.

6. Scrub the grease away

   With a soft-bristled toothbrush, scrub the paste-coated grease stains in a circular motion.

7. Wipe away the paste

   Once the grease is removed, wipe away the paste with a clean paper towel.

8. Rinse and dry the wood

   Spray the cleaned area with cold water to remove leftover paste residue. Wipe dry with a clean towel.
