What is the best way to clean sticky cabinets
l just bought a house with natural finished cabinets.They are sticky and
dark around the knobs.
Trisodium phosphate can be use to clean this sticky buildup
which is the result of dust sticking to oily deposits from greasy fingers.
TSP, as it is known, can even be used in higher concentrations to clean oil
stains on asphalt and concrete.

I love Citrisolve - it cuts through so many sticky things & it
since it is natural it doesn't give me a headache like other products do.
Ideally, if really sticky, I would unscrew the knobs & soak them in the
Citrisolve or detergent & clean them after a few hours.
It also makes it much easier to clean the cabinet without the knobs. If it is grease sticky, I like slightly diluted dawn dishwashing detergent too - with a lot of elbow grease. Finally, once you're done cleaning, make sure you cover the shelves (and even the top of the cabinets - even if you can not see them).that way, it will be easy to clean especially before you leave - just remove the paper or covering & you will have very little to do. Do the extra work up front, it will make it easier in the long run.
i think that you should talk to your landlord about what you
should clean it with because certain kinds of spay may mess up the
material in the cabinet.
