Every time you sauté, simmer, fry, or boil, tiny particles of oil float through the air and settle on nearby surfaces. Combine that with regular dust and splatters, and your cabinets become magnets for grime. Over time, this builds into a sticky layer that dulls the wood and attracts even more dirt.
