The top of my fridge, the wooden cabinets directly above my stove, and the microwave (also above the stove) all seem to have this.. greasy, sticky, and oily substance on them.. it's really weird. I have no idea wtf it's from, but I'm guessing it's from cooking, although it baffles me how a layer of grease just makes its way over everything. Even the liquor bottles I have on top of the fridge are coated!

I have NO idea how to clean this or remove this substance. I tried putting dishsoap (the kind that removes grease) on a sponge and wiping the surfaces down, but it's still there, and on top of that it ruins the sponge.

Any ideas on what chemicals/cleaners I could use? Or better yet, how the heck do I prevent this from happening?
