4 Tips to Remove Grease from Kitchen Cabinets

A sparkling clean kitchen always looks more inviting and pleasant. For this,

it is necessary to maintain hygiene in this room of the house, without forgetting its closets,

which undergo rigorous tests. Between grease stains, food splatters, and oil spills,

these cabinets often bear the brunt of it all. We often think of cleaning all the kitchen items but forget

to clean the cabinet doors. Over time, the accumulated grease and dirt will become more stubborn

and difficult to remove. We’ll show you how to quickly and effectively get rid of that buildup of grease on your kitchen cabinets.

1. Clean the Cabinets with Dish Soap and White Vinegar

Dish soap is a gentle way to clean and degrease all surfaces. When combined with white vinegar,

a powerful cleaning agent, its effectiveness increases many times over.

And with good reason, because vinegar is an excellent degreaser and disinfectant.

Grease and dirt stains on your cupboards are now a thing of the past.

To use this method, you will need:

2 tablespoons of organic dishwashing liquid
50 cl of warm water
25 cl of white vinegar
Mix the ingredients in a container and soak a sponge or cloth with the liquid.

Rub the cabinet doors, then rinse with a damp sponge and wipe with a microfiber cloth.

Don’t hesitate to use an old soft toothbrush to clean hard-to-reach corners to complete your cleaning.

Note that for a flawless finish, you can treat your wooden kitchen cabinets with mineral

oil to polish them and perfect their cleanliness. Say goodbye to stubborn fat with this gentle method.

2. Curd Soap
The mild action of curd soap is recommended for washing wooden surfaces such as kitchen cupboards.

To do this, simply mix warm water with a tablespoon of liquid curd soap and stir it all together.

Use this detergent to clean the cabinet doors with a sponge and then rinse with a damp cloth.

You can replace curd soap with soft soap to remove grease stains from kitchen cabinets.

With this gentle method, you can clean your wooden furniture without damaging it.

3. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a household ally. It has antiseptic properties and,

like white vinegar, helps fight bacteria. In addition, its acetic acid content makes it easier to remove grease from surfaces.

To use it, mix two equal parts apple cider vinegar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

Then allow the solution to cool, soak a sponge with the mixture and clean your kitchen furniture. Then rinse with cold water.

4. Baking Soda
Also, note that baking soda can be used to clean kitchen cabinet doors, as long as they aren’t made of wood.

Baking soda is considered a natural but abrasive cleaner and can damage waxed

or painted wood surfaces over time. For this type of wood, the two methods above are still ideal for gentle and effective cleaning.

How Do You Clean Painted Kitchen Cabinets?
For painted kitchen cabinets, linseed oil is still the ideal solution. To make this homemade cleaner,

mix together some linseed oil, turpentine, and flour. Dip a sponge in this mixture and clean your lacquered furniture.

Turpentine is an essential oil that is commonly used in the home because it acts as a solvent.

Linseed oil protects and improves wood surfaces. As for flour, while not commonly used, it does help in removing stubborn grease stains.

With these natural ingredients, removing sticky grease from cabinets becomes quick and easy.

Your furniture will shine with cleanliness and at a lower cost.

I ASKED MY NEIGHBOR TO CLEAN UP AFTER USING MY BBQ — THE NEXT DAY, SHE LEFT HER OWN “RULES” ON MY DOOR, BUT I SHUT THAT DOWN. So, about six months ago, a new neighbor moved in — a woman (40) with her son (16). At first, she seemed chill. I even lent her some household stuff and let her use my outdoor grill station when we weren’t home. No big deal, right? Wrong. One weekend, me, my husband and our kids went to visit my parents. We came back, and boom — MY BACKYARD LOOKED LIKE A FRAT HOUSE HAD JUST HOSTED A BBQ APOCALYPSE. Empty bottles, food scraps, grill left dirty like it had survived a grease explosion. I ask her about it, and she just shrugs, saying it was her son’s birthday, so you know, it’s just kids, it’s what kids do. Apparently, I shouldn’t make a fuss over something so minor. Lady, it’s my backyard, not a public park! So, I do the reasonable thing. I draft up three simple rules: 1. If you use something, clean it and put it back. 2. Please, clean up after your child. 3. That’s it. Just be respectful. I hand it to her, thinking we’re all good. THE NEXT DAY, I WAKE UP TO A LIST OF HER RULES TAPED TO MY DOOR. HER rules. For MY property. Spoiler: I didn’t follow her rules. In two weeks, her son knocked on my door and pleaded, “Ma’am, please, stop!” 👇🏼 Full story in the first comment 👇

MY SISTER TOOK BACK THE CAR SHE GIFTED ME AFTER I UPGRADED IT, SO I TAUGHT HER A LESSON. My older sister sold me her old car for a symbolic amount. It hadn’t run in ages, with flat tires and rust under the hood. But she made a big deal out of gifting it to me. Knowing my way around cars, I invested $5,000 to upgrade everything—new interior, fresh paint, new tires, and wheels. I was thrilled with the result. One morning, as I was about to leave for university, my sister stormed in, DEMANDING THE CAR BACK. I was sh0cked. She claimed her husband’s car had broken down, and since she hadn’t sent the sale documents, the car was still legally hers. She said she had changed her mind. My parents sided with her, arguing that she needed the car for her kids. My first thought was to call the police, but then I had a better idea. I decided to teach her a lesson she wouldn’t forget.

A POOR BOY’S LIFE CHANGES AFTER HE PULLS AN OLD, RUSTY CHAIN STICKING OUT OF THE SAND ON A REMOTE BEACH Adam is 13 years old and lives with his grandfather in an old trailer near the ocean. His parents passed away when he was just 3, and since then, his grandpa has been his only family. They don’t have much, but his grandpa has raised him well—Adam is strong, smart, and way more mature than most kids his age. One afternoon, he rode his bike down to the beach, just like any other day. He wandered along the shore, letting the waves tickle his feet—until something caught his eye. A thick, rusted chain lay partially buried in the sand. Curious, Adam grabbed it and pulled—but it barely budged. Whatever it was connected to was massive. From that moment on, Adam became obsessed with digging. He had no idea what he was about to uncover—or how it was about to change his life forever ⬇️

The rusted chain jutting from the sand seemed worthless to everyone else, but to 13-year-old Adam, it promised an escape from poverty. He couldn’t have known that…

THEY WERE PRAYING IN A CIRCLE—BUT NO ONE TAUGHT THEM HOW It was just after snack time, and I was washing out some paint cups when I noticed the room had gone oddly quiet. Too quiet for a group of 4- and 5-year-olds who usually treated volume like a sport. I turned the corner into the play area and stopped in my tracks. Four of them—Niko, Janelle, Izzy, and Samir—were sitting cross-legged in a perfect little circle. Hands held. Eyes shut. Heads bowed. They were whispering something I couldn’t quite catch at first. I thought maybe it was a song or one of those rhyming games they loved. But when I leaned in, I realized they were… praying. Like, really praying. Asking for things. Saying “Amen.” Janelle even crossed herself at the end like she’d seen in church. Thing is, we don’t do any kind of religious activity in our classroom. It’s a public kindergarten. No nativity plays, no Bible stories, nothing. And I’d never seen any of these four talk about faith or even mimic that kind of behavior before. I crouched down and gently asked, “Hey, what are you guys doing?” Izzy opened one eye and whispered, “We’re asking the sky to help us.” “Help you with what?” I asked. Niko just said, ⬇️
