Does anyone know how to get bacon grease off of the cabinets?
I've tried amonia, vinegar, and murphy's oil soap.
I'd appreciate any suggestions Thanks.

I'm not sure. I hope you find an answer soon!

Most of the time i clean my kitchen with HOT water, as hot as i can handle, with a mixture of amonia, and dishwashing liquid.

I've never tried this on my cabinets, but bleach will cut grease. I use it to clean out my microwave and, once in a while, I add it to the water when I'm washing dishes. I would delute it down and try it in a small out of the way area. Make sure that you rinse good and dry it off with a towel. Good luck!

Thanks girls, I have a day off coming next week and I want to clean clean clean.
It's been so long since I've had the chance to be home all by myself. I'm going to clean top to bottom. Thanks again.

Good luck! It's nice when everything is done, and feels/looks fresh again

Good luck with your cleaning! Doesn't always feel great when you look over what you've accomplished... I think that's my favorite part of tackling a big household project...

Get one of those orange degreaser. I usually buy a gallon of Zep orange cleaner from Home Depot. You can use it to remove most grease and remove all sorts of other things. You can dilute it and use it for a lot of things. I have used this stuff to clean grease off of my stovetop and also remove crayon writing from my walls with ease.

Good luck!

I googled "removing grease from walls" and came up with this:

Peter from Tacoma, WA writes; "I was told that I had to repaint my kitchen in order to get the grease stains out of my white painted walls. This is what I did instead: Mix together in a bucket; 1 Gallon of Water, 2 Tablespoons of Dawn,1/2 Cup of 20 Mule Team Borax, 1 capful of Ammonia. I put them all together and I had a great cleaner. It cleaned the walls. It won't harm the paint either. It may take several applications. Wait about 10 minutes between each application. Now I don't have to repaint the kitchen and it only cost me about $4.50 too! Happy Cleaning!" Thanks for the super wall cleaner Peter!

It came from a fun website about how to clean things:
