but I was too anxious to try any of them. Scrubbing the cabinets with a Mr. Clean pad or scrub brush would have damaged the finish, so I refrained from doing so. Using a Mr. Clean pad resulted in the need to recoat a wall in the past. I opted to create a paste and apply it to the grease-laden area. When I need a mild scrubber, I reach for baking soda. It never fails to do the trick. Make your kitchen cabinets seem like new by learning how to clean grease.
