Cleaning Kitchen (Grease problem)...

mummyslittleboy

What about sugar soap I would test it first on a bit thats not visible but you can use it for walls etc so it should be ok and its great for getting grease of.

Sorry I am kinda new to all this cleaning things. What exactly are Soda Crystals?

If I have a stubborn stain, then I reach for the Bicarbinate of Soda. Pour some on a cloth and gently scrub away (I always use a teflon friendly scrub pad)

If this is the same as Soda Crystals, then sorry

Have you tried good old Domestos.

Soda crystals are sodium carbonate.
They are used in various laundry and cleaning 'recipes'.

Here's a site with a picture:

Soda crystals are really good for grease and i always use them down the drain with hot water and soak my stained clothes in it overnight...its just it had a warning on it,

Bicarb i use bit its abrasive and would scratch my cupboard doors if i used it neat, but brill to clean the ceramic hob.

Clairbel I have the same sort of "finger" type grease marks on my cheap and cheerful B&Q cupboard doors (never again will I get one from there grrrrrrrr). I've tried startdrops etc and nothing shifts them so I will be following your thread closely!

clairibel

Mine are B & Q also But my MIL is having the same with hers and hers were a lot more expensive than mine.

I will have a go at the bleach this morning and report back.

mrsmortenharket

yeah, mine have the same marks on them!
Cif doesn't work.
Also following this thread with interest!

I have just been googling and found this site which does have some good natural cleaning solutions and it says baking soda and water solution is good for cupboards. I prefer this as its not harsh.

Heres the link

Just an update, i did do all my cupboards in a bicarb water solution and it has worked better than expected some grease area's needed to be done max 3 times before it went completely and i just used a normal white dishcloth...my cupboards have never looked so shiny and clean...but i would recommend a plain water wipe over after solution has been rubbed on as it does leave some streaks even after i dryed them off. :j

I love bicarb
