"What gets the greasy grimy stuff off of kitchen cabinets above the stove?"?
Answers:
we use 409 and then a light polish after. My husband is a cabinet installer and he recomends this.

Dirt.................use hot water and a mild cleaner that is a degreaser. It will come off.
well, the grease stuf comes from the greasy steam coming from the stove when you cook, as for getting it off, i would try scrubbing it with a very little bit of peroxide, but careful not to get anything on your food. if the varnish comes off (wich it shouldnt unless you used a little to much) then ur just going to have to put another coat on
Scott's Liquid Gold or Pledge.
Hot water and murphy's oil soap. If that doesn't cut the layers, use baking soda to scour the area.
Try TSP (tri sodium phosphate) which is available in any hardware store. Just be sure to follow the label directions and wear rubber gloves to protect your hands.
There are these people who canvassed my neighborhood selling spray cleaner door to door. It's called Advantage. It works on everything from cleaning your sneakers to getting soap scup and water deposits out of your shower. Very powerful cleaner that is completely harmless. I even use it to spray on my roses to keep aphids off, and it doesn't hurt them. It has worked on every thing I have used it for except cleaning carpet. (Not so good) Dont know if it is availible online. If you cant find it, most cleaners with orange oil as one of the ingredients should do the trick
Dish soap, hot water, and elbow grease.
There is a product called "Mean Green". It can be purchased at most Wal-Marts, Targets, Dollar Generals. A product called "Awesome" available at most Dollar Trees also helps.
just need a degreaser, to remove the cooking oil
ex: Formula 409
Try Greased Lightening. This stuff works. Believe me. If it doesn't I'll come and remove the grease myself! You can get it at discount stores and regular supermarkets.
I'd try a LITTLE ammonia in water. Test the inside of a door first.
whatever you choose to use (I like TSP) be sure you scrub from the bottom towards the top. Otherwise the streaks from dribbles will stay visible. Don't know why, they just do. Same goes for walls, paneling, etc.
Try 409, or anything ammonia or Chlorine-based...but not at the same time, because combining them produces toxic fumes...
if you are careful and the grease is thick enough, use a "glass scraper" or razor and forget about elbow grease; i've done that on toasters and counter tops and cabinets for dried on stuff or grease
I use a special mix 1/4 simple green 1/4 bleach (cheap will do) and half water....shall I come wipe it for you? rinse with water
the greasy, grimy stuff is just that - grease. what works for me is soap and hot water, and a little elbow grease with a plastic scouring pad.
although you can try a stronger degreaser if you want, but do a test patch first to make sure it doesn't remove the varnish.
