How to Clean Your Greasy Cabinets

Whether it’s kids who forget to wash their hands or you when you’re cooking something, cabinets easily get greasy messes all over them, especially around the handles and knobs. Instead of just letting the mess build up and look bad, here are a few easy and simple ways to clean those greasy cabinets in no time!

Homemade Solution

There’s no need to go out and buy expensive chemical cleaners for your cabinets, no matter what material they’re made from. Just make a mixture of 2 tablespoons of Dawn dish soap and 2 cups warm water. Dip a cloth in it, wipe down the greasy parts, and then dry with a cloth. Repeat as necessary.

Baking Soda

If that doesn’t work, then try some baking soda. Just rub some baking soda onto a dry cloth and then scrub down the greasy cabinet. This should work a little better and really get into the grain of the wood. Wipe off, clean with another cloth, and repeat if needed.

Vinegar

Another solution is to two cups of water with two cups of white vinegar and two tablespoons of Dish soap. The vinegar helps break down the greasy stains. Rub the greasy spots thoroughly and then rinse and dry as normal.

Polish with Oil

Once you’re done cleaning the grease off your cabinets, make them look even better with an awesome oil finish! Polish the cabinet doors with orange, lemon, or mineral oil to give them a great looking shine!
