ok to use trisodium phosphate to clean greasy cabinets ?

Question

We want to clean thoroughly before a move.

Answer 1

Dawn and hot water would probably work just as well.

Answer 2

Not much info to go on here.
If they are stained wood, no. Use Hot Murphy's oil soap (and a scrub brush if necessary). Follow up with a good oil and rub.

If they are painted wood, you shouldn't unless you really know the paint is on there, it will take if off sometimes. Try Hot Dawn water and maybe a small amount of bleach. Don't over-saturate them and rinse thoroughly.

If they are a laminate or veneer, I wouldn't really recommend it. It is way too abrasive. Try Hot Dawn(use Dawn dish soap to remove grease, they use it to save wild animals in oil spills for goodness sake) and rinse 2 times, first with a small amount of bleach and then clean water.

If they are stainless steel, some hot water and a sos pad are great, and lucky you, why would you ever move (ha ha).



TSP is great on things like floors, window frames and painted walls. It should be rinsed thoroughly when used.

Answer 3

Pine sol works great for cutting grease w/o hurting the finish. Not sure what the stuff you named is. I've been using PS for years cuz it's the only thing I found that cuts grease, disinfects and is not hard on surfaces. I use it on really tough grease.!! I sound like a broken record...

Answer 4

TSP is probably the best cleaner for kitchen cabinets. Grease is one of the hardest things to remove, and TSP does it. Just read the label. There are different concentrations for different jobs.

Answer 5

If you know what trisodium phosphate is, I don't know why you're asking me.

Answer 6

You have to be carefull, that will strip the finish off. Try some soap and water with ammonia in it. Bye
