We're in the process of purchasing a home from a respectable East Indian family. We've noticed that the kitchen cabinetry has grease and oils from their cooking, and as a result there is a "thick" film of residual grease and oil on all the kitchen cabinetry. This film has a sticky feel, and a distinct smell. Any recommendations on removing and restoring the kitchen cabinetry from this greasy-oily-film? The last ditch effort is to redo the cabinetry which can be quite expensive.
Also, any suggestions in mitigating the distinct aroma from their cooking? We're in the process of removing ALL carpeting and replacing with new carpeting. Should I take into consideration the air conditioning/heating ducts, and maybe the walls. We're also in the process of re-painting the entire interior of the house.
Thanks for any suggestions....
