How do you clean greasy kitchen cupboard doors?

[Fibbke]

I've tried hot water and washing up liquid and spray on kitchen cleaner. Neither work that well and now I've got a build up of crud on my badly desgned kitchen cupboard doors.

Any magical solutions to easily lift the grease?

Elbow Grease. Home bargains. Swear by it!

Sugar soap

Fab. Will pop in on the way home. Ive tried all sorts of eco alternatives, just want something hardcore now

I'd forgotten about sugar soap

Deepio is your friend. It comes in a blue bottle, most supermarkets sell it and it's magic stuff. I use it on end of tenancy cleans and particularly dirty jobs (I'm a cleaner by trade). If you can't get that then good old sugar soap)

Fairy power spray

I have an ancient kitchen with wooden architrave and a broken extractor fan so there is a daily film of grease, especially if I fry something. I put white vinegar in a spray bottle, spray liberally and leave for an hour. Then neat Fairy on a scouring sponge and spread it around and leave for a while. A good scrub again and a rinse, use a toothbrush for hard to reach bits.

Is it a bit sad to get excited about buying Deepio, sugar soap and elbow grease and spending my evening cleaning my kitchen?

Cleaner here...
Cif and the scourer side of a sponge.
Rinse off.

I've tried fairy power and it's no better than normal fairy liquid.

Vinegar.

Any kitchen wipes.

I used to love vim but havent seen for years

Elbow grease spray. It is amazing!

Another vote for elbow grease!

Sugar soap is the professional and my default if I was going to clean them all as a project!

I really love Ecozone decreasing kitchen spray. Elbow grease is great too.

You can get vim in home bargains

Agree with PP, CIF.

Elbow grease sounds like something you would send a trainee out to buy as an initiation joke.

Ha ha i admit i googled it before i replied and it does exist

Another vote for sugar soap. I tend to do a fairly regular wipe with surface spray and a cloth... but we needed our cupboards really grease free before we painted them, and I was amazed (and horrified!) by how much ‘extra’ grease the sugar soap got off!

Can i get sugar soap at b and q? Keen to get cracking!

Wipe them down once a week and there won't be a problem.

Cif. Smear it on and give it a moment to work then clean off with the scrubby side of a washing up spounge. I bought one house that had a kitchen so caked in grease I could scrape it off, utterly minging, the door frames and light switches too. Windowlene sprey is also good fot lighter greaseiness.
