"Cabinets may not come to mind when you think about the dirtiest surfaces in your kitchen, as they're usually filled with little more than clean dishes and utensils. As it turns out, stubborn grease can build up on these fixtures over time, especially those positioned above your stove or counters. Whenever you cook on your stovetop, oil, grease, and other food particles can rise up into the air and get stuck on surfaces in the vicinity."
"One popular solution for shiny cabinets is the classic combo of baking soda and vinegar. These two pantry ingredients will degrease your kitchen cabinets by lifting off grime via a chemical reaction. Simply mix the two into a paste and rub it all over your cabinet doors, letting it sit if the surfaces are particularly greasy. Thoroughly wipe away the residue, and you should have spotless cabinets."
Grease and food particles from stovetop cooking and dirty hands accumulate on cabinet surfaces, especially those above the stove or counters. Clean upper cabinets first, then counters, lower cabinets, and finally the floor to avoid recontamination. A baking soda and vinegar paste can lift grime through a chemical reaction; apply, let sit on heavy buildup, then wipe away residue. For painted or finished cabinets, use gentle cleaners like dish soap with warm water and soft cloths, avoiding abrasive tools that can damage finishes. Clean cabinetry thoroughly at least once a month to prevent stickiness and dullness.
