Spray a degreasing cleaning solution in a manageable working area on top of your cabinet. Let it sit and do its thing for a few minutes. Wipe clean with a soft cloth. Repeat until all the cabinet tops are clean.
Create a cleaning solution with 1-part baking soda, 2 parts warm water and the lemon juice. Add the solution to a spray bottle and spray the liquid onto the kitchen cabinets. Leave for 2-3 minutes, allowing the baking soda to work its magic. Use the soft sponge to gently scrub the grease away.
Use 50% water and 50% distilled vinegar for a streak-free look. If your kitchen glass cabinet has wooden mullions, then do not spray the distilled vinegar directly on the surface. Instead, spray onto a cloth and gently wipe.
Mix up a few drops of dish soap (not dishwasher detergent) in a bowl of warm water until soapy. Use a sponge dipped in the solution, but not dripping wet, to gently work the grease and grime out. Follow up with clean water to remove lingering dish soap. Dry the surface thoroughly with a dry microfiber rag.
Apply a grease-fighting cleaner, such as Greased Lightning, Mean Green, or Dawn dish soap mixed with hot water. Equal parts vinegar and hot water may also be effective. Gently scrub the grease stain with a sponge, cloth, or soft brush moistened with your grease-fighting cleaner of choice.
Clean With Mild Dish Soap
Like with wood cabinets, you shouldn't need to resort to abrasive cleaning products like vinegar or baking soda to remove dirt and grease from your laminate kitchen cabinets. A bit of dish soap in warm water applied with a good dose of elbow grease should be more than sufficient.
Your kitchen cabinets are resistant to a great deal. However, they can always do with some extra tender loving care to keep them in good condition. It is important to clean out the inside of your cabinets every 2-3 months to avoid the build-up of crumbs, grease, and dust.
The sticky residue is usually caused by cooking oil, fat from foods and dirt. It begins when you cook and even a spoon of oil in a hot pan will cause some of the oil to evaporate into oil vapour.
Laminate Cabinets
If the cabinet surfaces still show stains and dull spots, they can be spot-treated and polished with baking soda and vinegar. Spray on a solution of 2 parts water to 1 part vinegar and polish; rinse with water and buff with a clean, dry cloth.
Most cabinet types, including metal, plastic laminate, painted wood, and vinyl cabinets, can be cleaned with a solution of liquid dish soap and warm water. This simple and mild solution is enough to get food smudges, dust, and mild grease build-up off of your cabinets.
Find a wood-safe cleaner or mix a bit of dish soap with water. If your ceilings are really high, attach a soft cloth to a duster with a telescopic arm. Saturate your cloth with the cleaner and wipe the wood. Use a fresh towel to dry the area you wiped down thoroughly.
One way to clean stains is with warm water and a mild detergent or soap mixture. Simply mix the ingredients together, apply them to a rag, sponge or even paper towel, and rub at the stain. Make sure to rub firmly but not enough to damage your paint. For stubborn stains, we recommend using a rag or soft sponge.
Greasy Stovetop
Vinegar's acidity helps cut through grease easily. Spray some vinegar and water mix onto a splattered stovetop, let it sit for 10 minutes, and then scrub down with soapy water. It should wipe right off. If not, leave it to sit a bit longer.
Just mix 3 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 cup of water. Use the solution on a sponge to scrub away light grease stains from hard surfaces, like countertops, linoleum, the stovetop and even pots and pans.

So how do you clean them if you happen to have MDF cabinets? The easiest solution is a mixture of dishwashing soap and warm water.
