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?

Steam cleaner, wipes straight off

Definitely sugar soap will work.

B&Q sell sugar soap in a spray bottle or as crystals you make up with water. I find it the most effective kitchen cabinet cleaner for those of us who don't wipe them down every week. Wear rubber gloves if you use it.

@Soola - Where do you buy the Fairy power spray please? It's brilliant for stubborn dirt & cleaning BBQ's etc but I can't find anywhere that sells it anymore

Dont you trust me?!😂

Googling Elbow Grease🙄🙈

@HippyTrails

Sainsbury’s.

I’ve looked online and Asda and Wilkinson’s also sell it

White vinegar.
Soda crystal spray.
A mix of white vinegar and bicarb.
Flash spray with bleach and a green scouring sponge.

I've always used sugar soap (and steel wool on the tops of the cupboards where any little scratches won't show) in very hot water.

Can't remember if it's Ajax or Vim, but we get one or the other from the independent supermarket round the corner, so at least one scouring powder still exists.

Flash, undiluted where necessary, got rid of the horrible cupboard top grease in our kitchen.

Stardrops if you can get it or white vinegar and washing up liquid with hot water.

Ready made sugar soap (i'm lazy). Or elbow grease - good stuff and ready to spritz!!

If its a big job, i avoid cream cleaners as cleaning it off doubles the work load. (Lazy - see above😆😆)

Baby wipes are very effective against grease

Stardrops - the one with ammonia - in very hot water. Nothing cuts through grease like it.

B&q had some sort of degreaser, also is fab for lime snake.

I use fairy power spray too. It works really well

Elbow grease is magic. I used it on my cooker hood which was always a bit ‘sticky’no Matter what’s used. Elbow grease took all the stickiness and greasiness off. Also great on bbq, filters, splashback etc.

I have stone tiles that had gone shiny with grease. White vinegar spray and bicarb on a sponge scourer worked for that.

Sorry @corsacorsa but it is mumsnet and i was a bit worried you were taking the piss

Vinegar is the only thing to cut through grease.

You don’t even need it to be white vinegar.

I sprinkle a bit of Sarsons over my hob after Dp has been frying meat. Works wonders

Caravan cleaner. Aldi has big bottles of it in the middle aisle from time to time.
It's designed to shift traffic film and dead flies from the front of caravans so works a treat on kitchen cupboards.

Also a vote for deepio. Failing that I find Flash liquid Gel used neat on a sponge scrubber is pretty good at cutting through grease

YY to Elbow Grease.

My old cleaner swears by it, and it lifted a ton of muck left by the previous tenants.

I came on just to say Elbow Grease! It is the only thing that removed that weird and mysterious blackening on my stainless steel cooker top, where the big frying pan goes. I had tried all sorts of products applied with wire wool to scrub it and nothing budged it, nothing.

Until Elbow Grease, that is, yay. I didn't even need the wire wool, gawd knows what's in that stuff! They also make a washing up liquid. I have bought it, even though I have a dishwasher, for pans and non-dishwasher items.

Right im off to buy elbow grease

Excited.
