Mix Soap and Water:
In a bowl or bucket, mix a few drops of dish soap or castile soap with warm water. This mild cleaning solution is effective at cutting through grease without damaging the wood finish.
Step 3: Wipe Down Surfaces
Clean the Cabinets:
Dip a microfiber cloth or sponge into the soapy water, then wring out the excess liquid. Gently wipe down all cabinet surfaces, focusing on areas with visible dirt and grease.
Use a light touch to avoid scratching the wood. Pay special attention to corners, edges, and handles where grease and grime tend to accumulate.
Step 4: Tackle Stubborn Stains with Baking Soda
Apply Baking Soda Paste:
For stubborn stains, create a paste using baking soda and a small amount of water.
Apply the paste to the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes.
Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently scrub the stain. Baking soda is a natural abrasive that can help lift tough grime without damaging the wood.
Step 5: Address Greasy Buildup with White Vinegar
Vinegar Solution:
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a bowl or spray bottle.
Dip a cloth into the vinegar solution or spray it directly onto the cabinets. Vinegar is excellent for cutting through grease and also neutralizes odors.
Wipe down the cabinets with the vinegar solution, ensuring you reach all areas affected by grease.
Step 6: Dry Cabinets Thoroughly
