Yes of course you have to wash the soap residue off.

Wash cabinet once or twice with wet rag, no soap.
If it is still dirty then wash with wet rag that has 1/4 teaspoon or less of dish soap on it..
Then wipe the cupboard about four times with just a wet rag to get the soap residue and dirt off.

If still sticky, then spray with 409 or Mr. clean or whatever. . Use wet rag to wipe the 409 around.
Then wipe the cupboard about four times with just a wet rag to get the cleaning chemical residue off.

It works and it’s the best way to do it. I have a soapy bowl of warm water and dip a sponge into it and scrub the cabinets. Then I immediately dry it with a cloth.

I recently used a mixture of Dawn and white vinegar to clean my shower doors - worked beautifully. I wonder if that would also be a good solution for painted cabinet doors?

Vinegar works great for removing soap scum and mineral deposits. In fact, I think it works much better than the soap scum remover cleaning chemicals you can buy for doing that. (Except the vinegar is kind of stinky compared to the cleaning chemicals).

I don't know that vinegar would be all that effective for cleaning cooking grease stains though. Maybe.

Ammonia and, if really dirty, a dish brush.

Dawn is a miracle obliterates dirt, grease and stains in fabrics!

Dawn dish soap with hot water. But if it’s really bad get Kurd Kutter (do a test area), maybe cut it with water.

If dawn or diluted ammonia aren’t working, try a thin coat of cooking oil. No matter the method, giving it some time before wiping makes a difference.

I usually let it soak for a few minutes before wiping and will reapply as necessary
