I'm looking for a good grease/dirt buildup cleaner for backsplashes and kitchen cabinet doors (wood). Everything I have tried either drips off the surface before it works or doesn't work. It would be great if it were eco friendly as well. Thanks for the info in advance.

A weekly cleaning of cabinetry should prevent any buildiup. Most cabinet manufacturers recommend weekly cleaning with mild soap and water. Not using the grease/food laden dish rag. Weekly cleaning tends to keep buiildup at bay.
If there is grease buildup on cabintry, there are many degreaser products available. If planning on refinishing, TSP is an option.

Hello,marguerita
using Spray N Wash straight from the can. I sprayed it on and let it set a few seconds then took a damp sponge and the surfaces were squeaky clean. Inexpensive product and not harsh on the surfaces. Give it a try - you won't even have to use much elbow grease to remove the grease build up with spray n wash. thank you.

I use a product called Mean Green I think it's a product of the simple green familly of products or a product called Daki. More often than not now I use a steam cleaner you can buy for about $50 at any hardware store. It's just sprays a fine mist of steam so it cleans and kills germs and it's not filled with dangerous chemicals.

I have always just used liquid ammonia, which I keep in a handy spray bottle. I use it both on surface cleaning, as well in cutting grease in kitchen pots and pans. Very cheap and very effective. You may want to wear gloves if your skin is sensitive.
