Cleaning Greasy Baskets

Help! I am cleaning above my cabinets, which are disgustingly dirty and apparently greasy from cooking. I have decorative wicker and metal baskets above that are also quite yucky. I am using an amazing product, called Greased Lightning, which gets most of it off. Do you think I can use it on the baskets? Any other cleaning tip I can use? They are coated with a film of grease and then dust on top. I don't even cook with oil or butter very often so I'm grossed out. Must need to clean up there more often...

Greased Lightning is a great product and I have the same problem above my cabinets. The only difference is that I have antique glassware on top of my cabinets! The grease comes from the air circulating in your house. The greased lightning should be fine on the baskets. I would spray it on, let it sit a few minutes to break up the grease and then rinse it off. (You could probably do this in the bathtub easier, then use the shower to rinse) Good luck!

I would try the Greased Lightning on them. Just a little spot at first. You are the only one looking up there. Don't worry about it. I'm sure any cleaning you do up there will be fine.

There is a product called Mela Magic which gets rid of grease it is really amazing. It never harms any surfaces either! (at least everything I have put it on including clothes!) and it is non toxic so you don't have to worry about fumes or even if a little one gets into it. It works for me!
