Introduction:
Kitchen cabinets are exposed to grease and grime from cooking, leading to stains that can be hard to remove. While many people turn to store-bought detergents, these can contain harsh chemicals that may harm the finish of your cabinets. The good news is that you can effectively degrease kitchen cabinets using natural, non-toxic ingredients that are just as powerful—and safer—for your home. In this guide, we’ll explore simple, effective methods for cleaning your cabinets without detergent, ensuring they stay spotless and damage-free.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of white vinegar
1 tablespoon of baking soda
1 cup of warm water
1/2 cup of olive oil (for wood cabinets)
1 teaspoon of lemon juice (optional for added freshness)
Microfiber cloths or soft sponges
A small bowl for mixing
Instructions:
Prepare the Cleaning Solution:
In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of white vinegar with 1 cup of warm water. Stir well. For extra grease-fighting power, add 1 tablespoon of baking soda. The baking soda will help break down the grease, and the vinegar will lift it away without leaving residue.
Apply the Solution:
Dampen a microfiber cloth or soft sponge with the cleaning solution. Wring out any excess liquid to avoid drips, and gently wipe down the cabinet surfaces. For areas with heavy grease buildup, you can let the solution sit for a few minutes to loosen the grime before wiping.
Scrub Tough Spots:
For stubborn grease spots, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda directly on the surface and use a damp cloth to scrub in a circular motion. This gentle abrasive action will help lift away grease without damaging the cabinet’s finish.
