The kitchen is often referred to as the heart of the home, a place where meals are crafted and memories are made. However, after years of culinary adventures, it’s not uncommon for kitchen cabinets to accumulate a sticky, greasy residue. This can not only dull the appearance of your cabinets but also attract dust and grime. If your cabinets have been neglected for over three years, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and restore them to their former glory with a thorough cleaning.

Over time, cooking fats, oils, and vapors combine with dust and other particulate matter in the kitchen environment, leading to a stubborn, grimy layer on surfaces. Sticky cabinets are often the result of neglect or insufficient cleaning methods. A lack of regular maintenance can exacerbate this issue, making it more challenging to clean the cabinets thoroughly.

To tackle the sticky residue on your cabinets, you’ll need a few essential supplies: a mild detergent or mild degreaser, white vinegar, baking soda, warm water, microfiber cloths, sponges, a soft-bristle brush, and optional cleaning gloves. For tougher grease, consider having some natural or commercial degreasing products on hand.
