Fat free, that’s what I always look for!

Baking soda
Vegetable oil (any other oil you have on hand will do)
A soft cloth or sponge
A bowl
Warm water
Steps:
Create the cleaning paste: In a small bowl, mix one part baking soda with one part vegetable oil. You don’t need much; start with a tablespoon of each, depending on the size of the area you’re cleaning. Stir the mixture until it forms a thick paste.
Apply the paste: Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the paste. Then, gently apply it to the greasy areas of your cabinets. You don’t need to press hard; just make sure the paste covers all the greasy spots.
Let it sit: Let the paste sit on the cabinets for about 5 to 10 minutes. This gives the mixture time to effectively break down the grease and grime.
Wipe away the grease: After letting the paste sit, take a clean cloth or sponge dampened with warm water and gently wipe away the paste. You’ll notice that the grease and grime come off easily, leaving behind a clean, smooth surface.
Rinse and repeat (if necessary): If you still see grease residue, repeat the process until your cabinets are completely clean. For most, one application is sufficient, but particularly stubborn dirt may require a second application.
Rinse and dry the surface: Once you have removed all the grease, wipe the cabinets with another clean cloth dampened with warm water to remove any remaining residue. Finally, dry the surface with a dry cloth to avoid water spots.
