What should I use to remove grease from kitchen cabinets?

We bought a foreclosure house and it's filthy especially the kitchen cabinets. We tried soap and water and also comet and Mr. Clean and there is still grease on them. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get the grease off?

    There are products made specifically for this. You need a product like Cabinet Magic or another product (usually sold at Home Depot or hardware stores) which is a 3 step process to remove the grit and grime, clean the wood and polish.

    I'd also recommend you change out hardware. Its so time consuming to bring the luster back into hardware that you're almost better off changing it out. Knobs vary in price from $1-$5/piece and it will help to also update the look of the cabinets.

    There is a cleaner called Greased Lightning. It works great to get grease off of kitchen surfaces. I've also had luck with the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Sometimes just Dawn dishsoap and really hot water do the trick (Dawn cuts grease on dishes, and works pretty well on surfaces too).

    You can try cleaning an inconspicuous area of a cabinet with a solution of TSP. Painters use TSP to clean walls before painting and it will remove very stubborn buildups of grease, grime and smoke residue. You can find TSP in the paint sections of most hardware stores, Lowe's, Home Depot etc. Be sure to wear gloves.............this is tough stuff. It does not remove paint. Good Luck!

    When cleaning kitchen cabinets of touch cooking grease,, there are a few commercial products that are very effective Be sure to read the back label to find the kitchen cleaning product that best suits your needs. You can also try using baking soda for a more environmentally friendly alternative or a mild detergent, such as that you would use to wash your dishes, to cut through grease. You can also try cleaning kitchen cabinet doors by combining a half cup borax, two tablespoons laudry detergent soap flakes, one tablespoon ammonia, and one gallon of warm water. Use full strength in spray bottle or add two cups to a pail of warm water. If any stickiness remains, try using baking soda as a scrub agent. Apply it directly to the area - it should remove any residue without harming the finish...

    Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.healthboostpc.com/

    It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.

    PKS's answer is correct, tri-sodium-phosphate, professional wall washers use it before painting. It definitely will cut the grease. Ammonia will do the same, but it is not as strong.

    I had the same exact problem and I used Greased Lightning brand spray cleaner and it came right off. Spray it on and leave it a minute or so and then scrub off. !!
