To cut through grease on kitchen cabinets without harsh cleaners:

Heat a damp sponge in the microwave for 30 to 40 seconds.
Spray the cabinet with a citrus-based cleaner
Wearing dishwashing gloves to avoid burning your hands, take the hot sponge out of the microwave, and use it to remove the grease.
Wipe off any remaining residue with a paper towel.

The combination of the citrus cleaner and hot sponge will remove the grease in half the time without harmful chemicals.
