I painted my cabinets a while back and they needed cleaning from all the food stains. I used a Mr. Clean Magic eraser and all the stains came off without hurting the cabinets. I actually used a TARGET brand generic form of the magic eraser (same exact thing as Mr. Clean brand)
P.S. It’s really easy to use the foam-like eraser because it gets in all the little decorative grooves that cabinetry can have. It was barely any elbow grease as I remember it!
It worked great! Good luck!

409 works well, then if they are varnished, be sure to use some Liquid Gold or Old English to moisturize the wood.

Windex seems to clean oil stains on cabinets pretty good worth a try!

I always just use real hot water and a warm wash rag!

If they are wood cabinets murphy’s oil soap works well. Otherwise I would use clorox clean up. If they are painted I would use Dawn dish liquid and hot water. Some cleaners will remove paint.

Try using a degreaser. It works. Or try using vinegar in warm water.

I would clean them with Murphy’s oil soap and hot water. If you don’t have Murphy’s oil soap then use Mr. clean and hot water. You can even use a small hand broom for getting the dust out or a vacuum.
