Instead of “How to Clean the Tops of Greasy Kitchen Cabinets”, this post really should be called “The Horror That Lies Above” because that’s exactly what was I found. You see, this is an area that I don’t clean on a regular schedule. I think I mentally put it off because I know how icky it gets. All that dust that’s mixed in with cooking grease = sticky gross gunk. The only reason I even made it up there was because I was hanging some decorative plates above the cabinets.
Now, if you’re faint of heart, easily grossed out, squeamish, or faint easily…don’t scroll down.

I was so mortified, that I immediately sent my hubby to the store to fetch me some heavy duty grease cleaner and went to work. I also tested a natural way to clean this greasy gunk off using only vinegar and baking soda, which was something I’ve seen done on Pinterest. Here’s what I did.

For the chemical way of cleaning, I used Fantastik’s Scrubbing Bubbles Heavy Duty All Purpose Cleaner. I am not sponsored, nor was I compensated for this post. This is just what the hubby brought home from the store and what I used.

After using a chemical heavy duty cleaner, I wondered if just using vinegar and baking soda would be able to cut through the sticky greasy gunk. So, I poured some vinegar onto the top of one of the cabinets and sprinkled some baking soda on top. It immediately began to fizz and I could see some of the greasy begin to appear in the bubbles.
UPDATE: I’ve had a lot of people asking me which method I prefer better, the natural or chemical way. Both methods clean off the grime very well using the plastic card to scrape it off. So really, it is up to you which method you use. The only real difference is that the baking soda way does require wiping down the cabinet a little more to remove the gritty baking soda.
Glad you made it this far without fainting 🙂
