A clean and sparkling kitchen is always more welcoming and pleasant. To do this, it is necessary to maintain the hygiene of this room in the house without forgetting its wardrobes that are facing hard tests. Between grease stains, food stains and oil splashes, these pieces of furniture are battered and often poorly cleaned.
Many times we think about cleaning all the elements of the kitchen but we forget to clean the cabinet doors. Over time, accumulated grease and dirt become harder and harder to remove. We show you how to get rid of this accumulation of grease in your kitchen furniture, quickly and effectively.
Here’s how to remove grease from kitchen cabinets.
– Dishwasher and white vinegar to clean the cabinet doors: Liquid dishwashing is a gentle way to clean and degrease all surfaces. Combined with white vinegar, an effective cleaner, its action is multiplied by ten. And for good reason, vinegar is an excellent degreaser and disinfectant. Grease stains and dirt in your closets will be history.
To use this method, you’ll need:
- 2 tablespoons organic dishwashing liquid
- 50cl hot water
- 25cl of white vinegar
Mix the ingredients in a bowl and soak a sponge or rag in this liquid. Scrub the cabinet doors and then rinse with a damp sponge and then wipe with a microfiber cloth. Feel free to use an old soft toothbrush to clean hard-to-reach corners to complete your cleaning.
Keep in mind that for a flawless finish on your wooden kitchen furniture, you can treat it with mineral oil to polish it and perfect its cleaning. With this gentle method, say goodbye to encrusted fat.
– Marseille soap: The softness of Marseille soap is recommended for washing wooden surfaces such as kitchen cabinets. To do this, simply mix warm water with a tablespoon of Marseille liquid soap and mix. Use this detergent to clean cabinet doors with a sponge and then rinse with a damp cloth. You can replace Marseille soap with black soap to remove grease stains from kitchen cabinets. This gentle method allows you to clean your wooden furniture without damaging it.
– Apple cider vinegar: Considered a domestic ally, cider vinegar has antiseptic properties and helps fight bacteria, like white vinegar. In addition, its acetic acid content facilitates the eradication of grease from surfaces.
To use it, mix two equal parts cider vinegar and water that you bring to a boil in a saucepan. Then let the solution cool, then soak a sponge in this preparation and clean your kitchen furniture. Then rinse with cold water.
Also note that baking soda can be used to clean kitchen cabinet doors as long as they are not wood. In fact, baking soda is considered a natural but abrasive cleaner and, over time, can damage waxed or varnished wood surfaces. For this type of wood, the two methods mentioned are still ideal for gentle and effective cleaning.
