Over time, kitchen cabinets can accumulate grease and absorb cooking odors, leaving them sticky and unpleasant. Cleaning them thoroughly and removing lingering smells is essential to keep your kitchen fresh and hygienic. Here’s a step-by-step guide to restore your cabinets and eliminate odors.
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
For Cleaning Grease:
Warm water
Dish soap (degreasing formula works best)
White vinegar
Baking soda
Lemon juice (optional)
A microfiber cloth or sponge
A soft-bristled toothbrush for corners and crevices
A bucket or spray bottle
For Odor Removal:
Activated charcoal or baking soda (to absorb smells)
Essential oils (e.g., lemon, lavender, or tea tree)
Dryer sheets or coffee grounds (optional, for scent absorption)
Step 2: Clean the Grease
1. Start with Soapy Water
. Fill a bucket with warm water and add a few drops of dish soap.
. Dip a microfiber cloth or sponge into the soapy water, wring it out, and wipe down the cabinets.
. Pay extra attention to areas near the stove where grease buildup is often the worst.
2. Use a Vinegar Solution for Tough Grease
. Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle.
. Spray the solution onto the greasy areas and let it sit for 5–10 minutes.
. Wipe the cabinets with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a soft toothbrush to scrub gently.
3. Tackle Stubborn Grease with Baking Soda
. Sprinkle baking soda onto a damp sponge or cloth.
. Scrub the greasy spots gently in circular motions.
. Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove any residue.
4. Optional: Lemon Juice for Shine
. Mix lemon juice with warm water for a natural degreaser and fresh scent.
. Wipe the cabinets with this mixture, then buff dry with a clean microfiber cloth.
