Clean Kitchen Cabinets
About once every week or two, follow these steps to clean and degrease the exterior and interior of your cabinets. And here’s the trick to actually removing pesky grease splatters.
What You'll Need:
Clean cloth
Grease-cutting dish soap
All-purpose cleaning spray
White vinegar
Glass cleaner (optional)
Cleanser with citrus or orange oil (optional)
Follow These Steps:
1. Add a squirt of dish soap to a bucket of warm water. Dip a cloth, wring it out, and wipe down the surface of the cabinet, starting at the top and concentrating on any areas with visible grease splotches. Alternatively, you can use a multi-purpose cleaning spray, just check the recommended surfaces on the label and test in an inconspicuous spot first. Spritz the cleanser onto a cloth, rather than directly onto the cabinets.
2. If you have cabinets with glass fronts, use a specialized glass cleaner to prevent streaks and residue. We have our quick + easy DIY glass cleaner recipe
3. For really tough grease stains, grab a multi-purpose cleanser with citrus oil (a known degreaser). Test in a small spot first to make sure the cleanser won't affect the finish. Then let the cleanser sit on the grease spot for a few minutes before wiping with a cloth dampened with warm water.
4. After cleaning, wipe down the cabinets with a damp cloth to remove any residue.
5. Finish with a dry cloth. Be careful not to leave any water sitting on the cabinet surface.
Clean cabinet hardware: Mix a solution of one part vinegar to one part water. Dip a clean cloth and use it to wipe down each knob or drawer pull, then dry thoroughly.
And For Kitchen Cabinet Interiors
Every few months, give your cabinets a deep clean.
What You'll Need:
Vacuum with crevice attachment
Clean cloth
Mild dishwashing liquid
Follow These Steps:
1. Empty everything from the cabinets (now is a good time to check the expiration dates!) Using the crevice attachment, vacuum up any crumbs and dust, starting with the top cabinet and working your way down.
2. In a small bucket, combine warm water with a drop of dishwashing liquid. Dip a clean cloth, wring it out, and wipe down the interior of the cabinets.
3. Dry with a clean cloth before replacing items in the cabinet.
