The grease was so thick in the kitchen of a house my folks bought many decades ago that my mother ended up needing to use kerosene to cut the grease on the cabinets and fixtures! Not sure I'd go that route. I find Softscrub does a good job with grease generally. Use a rag vs a sponge though. Rinsing that stuff is painful from a sponge. Rag is much better.
