Grease buildup can dull the color of kitchen cabinets. As grease is sticky, it also attracts airborne dust particles, which get stuck to the cabinets--after a while, this can make cabinets look very grungy. If you visit almost any grocery store, you'll find degreasing products on the cleaning supply aisle. You probably won't have to make this extra trip, however. All the supplies you need to remove grease may already be in your kitchen.
Things You'll Need
Rubber gloves
Non-abrasive sponges
Hot water
- 1
Put on a pair of rubber gloves. This is to protect your hands from hot water and from the grease and dirt.
- 2
Wet a sponge in very hot (not boiling) water. Wipe it quickly over the cabinets before it cools. The heat will soften the grease slightly.

- 3
Place a large drop (about a tbsp.) of liquid degreasing dish detergent (or a cleaner containing orange oil) on the sponge and immediately wipe this over the cabinets.
- 4
Wet the sponge again in hot water and scrub the cabinets. You'll have to rinse the sponge frequently in hot water, for best results (or use disposable rags); the sponge will collect a lot of grease during this cleaning.
- 5
Continue wiping down the cabinets until the sponge no longer lifts any more grease or dirt. You may need to use more water and detergent if you have several cabinets to clean or if grease buildup is thick.
- 6
Dampen a clean white towel or cloth in warm water and rinse off soap residue. Dry the cabinets with soft white towels. Check the towels after each swipe over the cabinet to make sure no more dirt or grease is present.
