OS Degreaser

I have inherited white kitchen cupboards with deep grooves in them, which get very greasy. Could anyone recommend what to use to degrease them please.
Thanks

    Hot water and bicarb? My venetian blinds in kitchen get covered with greasy type dust. Cleans through that a treat.

    Borax and hot water, the grease will come off really easily.

    If it's really bad then add a drop of ammonia to any of the OS remedies above - not a lot and don't inhale!

    Be aware that it is a concentrated soapless detergent. Dilute according to the instructions and/or use gloves.

    The MSE/OS general purpose cleaning spray can be made from 1 part Stardrops, 1 part white vinegar and 1 part water, in a used, rinsed spray bottle, of course.

    Thanks Stephen, I'll give that a whirl. I always wear gloves as I suffer from eczema, white vinegar is marvellous stuff isn't it.

    That seems like a lot of Stardrops?? I would have thought you'd only need about a teaspoon (5ml) to about 500ml of other liquid.
