These are the only 2 ingredients you need to clean even the greasiest and grimiest kitchen cabinet

That headline is talking about a super simple (and effective) combo:

Dish soap + baking soda

Why these work

• Dish soap cuts through grease (it’s designed to break down oils).
• Baking soda is a gentle abrasive that lifts grime without scratching most cabinet finishes.

How to use it

1. Mix 1–2 tablespoons of baking soda with a few drops of dish soap.
2. Add just enough warm water to make a spreadable paste.
3. Apply with a soft sponge or cloth.
4. Gently scrub greasy areas.
5. Wipe clean with a damp cloth, then dry.

Good to know

• Safe for most painted, laminate, and sealed wood cabinets.
• Avoid heavy scrubbing on unsealed wood or high-gloss finishes—spot test first.
• For extra buildup, let the paste sit for 2–3 minutes before wiping.

If you want, I can also give you a spray version, a natural vinegar-based option, or tips specific to wood vs. painted cabinets.
