    Murphy's Oil Soap is formulated to take grease and oil off of wood. I have tried it and it great for serious grease and oil. It is also very good for crud on shower doors.

    Excellent product. You need the cleaner and the polisher. Great on kitchen cabinets. If you really are super greasy, try one of the citrus type cleaners.......the citrus extract is great on grease....something like d-limonine. Then come back with Doozy. OK, you've got the be a household maven to spring for this stuff, but it's great on all wood! I buy it locally at a piano store!! I don't own a piano.

    Since you are redoing the kitchen......springing for the good stuff might be justified.

    All answers were good BUT. I use vinegar and water for a lot of my cleaning but accidentally discovered how well this solution worked when cleaning a white stove where you can easily see the results. I usually use only a cloth but have found that sponges with 2 sides are good for heavy spots but have to use a more heavy duty scrubby if the spots are really tough. Since I try to be frugal and efficient it's the cheapest and easiest solution.

    Whatever you do don't use VINEGAR. It will eat through the finish on the wood. Use Murphy's Oil it's about $3-4, or you can use goo gone but i think it cos a little more.

    Vinegar might work but I cannot stand the smell. I would use 409 cleaner and then go over them with a wood polish

    Use the hottest water you can stand with a little bit of dish soap. Wipe dry with a lint free towel. Repeat if necessary. Stay away from oil soaps and harsh detergents. Oh, and also, clean up when done more frequently.
