Over time, kitchen cabinets—especially near the stove—accumulate a sticky film of grease, cooking oil, and food splatter, which traps odors and attracts dust. Left untreated, this buildup dulls finishes and can even damage wood. The good news? With common household ingredients, you can restore your cabinets to clean, fresh-smelling condition—without harsh chemicals.
🧼 Step-by-Step Cleaning Method (Safe for Wood, Painted & Laminate)
What You’ll Need:
- Dish soap (like Dawn—cuts grease fast)

- Baking soda (for tough grime)
- Microfiber cloths or soft sponges
- Warm water
- Spray bottle
- Optional: Essential oil (lemon or orange for fresh scent)
⚠️ Always test cleaners on a hidden spot first—especially on antique or delicate finishes.
