Why this method works
Baking soda: Known for its mild abrasive action, baking soda acts as a gentle cleaner that dissolves sticky, greasy layers without scratching or damaging cabinets. It is also a natural odor remover that helps eliminate clothing odors trapped in grease.
Vegetable oil: Although it might seem contradictory, vegetable oil helps dissolve grease. The explanation is simple: “like seeks like.” By applying a small amount of oil to a greasy surface, the grease softens, making it easier to clean. It also gives cabinets a subtle shine, making them look better without appearing greasy.
