    Steveyme apologies for jumping in but you seem to have some great answers. Would be great to hear your solution when you win ;)

    My problem is however is on the cabinet doors not only grease but stained in places after Dutch oil was used on the oak surfaces.

    Tried a light bleach solution but to no avail. Anyone any thoughts? Will that de-greaser help?

    Cheers
    I believe past performance is a good guide to future performance :beer:

    Have you tried WD40 ??

    This is what I always use for this sort of job.

    & Once the grease is gone wipe the surface afterwards with a damp soapy cloth to remove any remaining WD40

    I had a similar problem and ended up resorting to the likes of neat fairy liquid with a brillo pad. But the thing that made the most difference was a ceramic scraper. Used it for cleaning crap off the oven, scraped off the grease on cupboards and tiles, and paint splatter from worktops.

    When I moved into my rented flat I had a similar scenario. I used 'cream cleaner' (generic Jif/Cif type product) and one of those washing up sponges with a green scrubby side - gets it off really well but I wouldn't use it on real wood veneer or other delicate surface - my cupboard doors are the type made of moulded MDF with a shrunk on plastic type coating.
    Don’t try to keep up with the Jones’s. They are broke!
