Tip

To keep the mess from dripping all over your countertops or floors, place a towel underneath the cabinet you are cleaning at the time.

Step 3: Let Degreaser Sit

Depending on how thick or set-in the grease or dirt on your cabinets is, you may want to let the degreaser sit for a minute or two.
