To bring back life to old looking cabinets, they could just need a good cleaning.
Over time, Kitchen cabinets attract a sticky buildup from cooking, grease and dirty fingers and are not usually cleaned as often as other household items such as stoves and countertops. The steam from washing dishes can also create a film on cabinets as well as stains from grease, food and grime. These factors will make the cabinet seem dull, cloudy and streaked.
Wood, metal, laminated plastic or wood-grained vinyl surfaces can generally be cleaned with a warm, soapy solution.
Below are guidelines for cleaning and maintaining kitchen cabinetry:
Things You'll Need
- A Degreaser
- A Bucket
- Sponges and/or rags
- Rubber gloves
- Start off by dusting the cabinets
- Remove all knobs and handles and soak in warm soapy water
- Since cabinets are not usually given regular cleaning, a strong degreaser is recommended to get rid of all the buildup.
- Wipe cabinets with a degreaser
- Let it stand for 10 minutes
- Wipe the solution off with a soft and damp rag or microfiber
- Microfibers will eliminate more bacteria.
- Dry cabinets with a dry cloth or microfiber
- Rinse and replace knobs and handles
Precautions Necessary for cleaning Kitchen Cabinets:
- Wear rubber or latex household gloves, protective eyewear and old clothes to protect eye and skin contact with chemicals.
- People that are sensitive to odors may choose to wear a painter’s face mask as well.
- Cover all surfaces that you do not want affected by the cleaning product.
- Use extra precaution when covering appliances. Make certain all appliances are turned off, and no gas pilot flames are burning.
- Open a door or window to allow ventilation.
- Removing the doors and drawers and taking them outside to clean is a safer alternative since no flames are nearby.
- Do not use a scouring powder or other abrasives on cabinets as they will damage the finish whether it’s a wood, metal, laminated plastic or wood-grained vinyl surface.
- Read the label to be sure it can be used on the finish, and follow directions exactly. Degreasers contain powerful chemicals. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and heed the safety precautions.
- Always test on the inside of a door in an inconspicuous area to be sure it will not harm the surface.
Finally, be sure to clean cabinet surfaces periodically, mainly once a week, to keep them looking shiny and new. |
