Step 3: Remove Odors from Inside the Cabinets
1. Empty the Cabinets
. Remove all items from the cabinets to access every corner.
2. Clean the Interiors
. Wipe down the inside of the cabinets using the vinegar solution or soapy water.
. Dry with a clean cloth to prevent moisture buildup.
3. Absorb Odors
. Place small bowls of baking soda, activated charcoal, or coffee grounds inside the cabinets to absorb smells.
Replace these every few days until the odor is gone.
4. Add a Fresh Scent
. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to a cotton ball or dryer sheet and place it in the cabinet for a pleasant scent.
Step 4: Prevent Future Grease and Smell Buildup
1. Wipe Regularly: Clean the cabinets weekly with a damp cloth to prevent grease accumulation.
2. Use a Degreasing Spray: Apply a light degreasing cleaner to high-traffic areas near the stove.
3. Ventilate While Cooking: Use the exhaust fan or open windows to reduce airborne grease and odors.
4. Line Shelves: Use shelf liners to make cleaning spills and crumbs easier.
5. Store Odor-Prone Items Properly: Keep items like onions, garlic, or spices in airtight containers.
Additional Tips
. Avoid Abrasive Scrubbers: These can damage the cabinet finish.
. Test Before Cleaning: If your cabinets have a special finish, test any solution on a small, hidden area first.
. Use Gentle Products: Harsh chemicals can discolor or strip the finish of wooden cabinets.
By following these steps, your kitchen cabinets will be grease-free and fresh-smelling in no time! Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep them in excellent condition, ensuring your kitchen always looks and feels inviting.
