Kitchen cabinets are one of the most used — and most ignored — parts of the kitchen. We clean the counters, the sink, the stove… but cabinet doors quietly collect grease, dust, fingerprints, and food splashes every single day. Over time, even a modern kitchen can start to look old and dirty just because of them.
The good news? You don’t need to repaint or replace anything. With a few simple and affordable tricks, you can make your cabinets look brand new in less than an hour.
Here are 5 powerful cleaning hacks that actually work.
1. The Magic Combo: White Vinegar and Warm Water
This is the ultimate natural cleaner. White vinegar is a strong degreaser and kills bacteria without damaging most surfaces.
How to use it:
- Mix 50% white vinegar + 50% warm water
- Dip a microfiber cloth in the mixture
- Wipe cabinet doors, handles, and edges
- Dry with a clean cloth
Why it works:
Vinegar breaks down grease and removes dull layers of dirt. It’s perfect for:
- Wood cabinets
- Laminate
- Painted surfaces
Result: clean, fresh, and streak-free cabinets.
2. Baking Soda for Stubborn Grease and Stains
Some stains don’t come off easily — especially near the stove. Baking soda is your best friend for tough spots.
Method:
- Mix baking soda with a little water to make a paste
- Apply to greasy areas
- Let it sit for 10 minutes
- Gently scrub with a soft sponge
- Rinse and dry
Benefits:
- Non-toxic
- Gentle on surfaces
- Removes old grease and odors
This works great on yellowed or sticky areas.
