A Genius Tip for Grease-Free Kitchen Cabinets

If you’ve ever reached for a spice jar or mixing bowl only to feel that sticky, stubborn film on your kitchen cabinets, you’re not alone. Cooking—especially with oil—naturally releases airborne grease that eventually settles on surfaces. And over time, those once-shiny cabinet doors can turn dull, tacky, and attract dust like a magnet.

But don’t worry—we’ve got a simple, genius tip that will save you hours of scrubbing and keep your cabinets looking clean and fresh for months.


The Problem: Grease Buildup on Cabinets

Even if you clean regularly, grease has a sneaky way of building up—particularly on the cabinets closest to your stove. This film not only makes your kitchen look dirty, but it also collects dust and is a magnet for grime. Traditional degreasers can help, but they often require elbow grease and leave strong chemical smells behind.

So what’s the solution?


The Genius Tip: Line the Tops of Your Cabinets with Wax Paper

Yes, wax paper—that humble roll in your kitchen drawer—is about to become your new favorite cleaning hack.

Here’s how it works:

  • Grease rises as you cook, and much of it lands on the tops of your upper cabinets, especially if there’s a gap between the cabinets and ceiling.
  • Instead of letting that grease build up on wood or paint, lay a sheet of wax paper across the top of each cabinet.
  • The wax paper catches the grease and dust. Every couple of months, just replace it. No scrubbing needed.

It’s that simple—and incredibly effective.


Why It Works

  • Wax repels grease and moisture, so the paper doesn’t get soaked or soggy.
  • It’s nearly invisible from eye level, so it won’t change the look of your kitchen.
  • You’re creating a barrier that saves your cabinets from damage and makes cleaning a breeze.
