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.
