Tips and Cabinet Cleaner Recommendations


Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Before diving into cleaning your kitchen cabinets, gather the necessary supplies:


A cabinet cleaner (commercial or homemade)

Warm water

A bucket or bowl

Microfiber or soft cotton cloths

A toothbrush or soft-bristle brush

A step stool or ladder (for reaching high cabinets)


Step 2: Remove Contents and Hardware

Start by emptying the cabinets. Remove dishes, pots, pans, and any other items stored inside. This will not only make cleaning easier but also allow you to check for any expired or unused items that can be discarded.


If your cabinet hardware (handles and knobs) is removable, take them off. This will give you better access to clean the cabinet surfaces thoroughly.


Step 3: Dust and Wipe Down

Begin the cleaning process by dusting the cabinet surfaces. Use a dry, microfiber cloth to remove loose dirt, dust, and cobwebs. Pay special attention to corners and crevices.


Next, prepare a cleaning solution. You can use a commercial cabinet cleaner or make your own by mixing warm water with a few drops of dish soap. Ensure the water is not too hot, as it can damage some cabinet finishes.


Step 4: Clean Cabinet Exteriors

Dip a cloth or sponge into your cleaning solution and wring it out so it's damp but not dripping. Wipe down the cabinet exteriors, working in the direction of the wood grain if applicable. Be thorough but gentle to avoid scratching the finish.


For stubborn spots or built-up grease, use a toothbrush or soft-bristle brush to gently scrub the area. Rinse the cloth or sponge as needed.


Step 5: Clean Cabinet Interiors

For the cabinet interiors, especially those near the stove or sink, where grease tends to accumulate, pay extra attention. Wipe down all interior surfaces, including shelves and the inside of doors.


Step 6: Rinse and Dry

After cleaning, use a clean, damp cloth to rinse off any remaining cleaning solution. Then, go over the cabinets again with a dry cloth to ensure they are completely dry. This step is crucial to prevent water damage and streaks.


Step 7: Reassemble and Organize

Once your cabinets are clean and dry, reassemble the hardware and return your kitchen items to their rightful places. Take this opportunity to declutter and organize your cabinets for a more efficient kitchen.
