Cleaning Kitchen Cabinets

You wish that your cabinet looked as good as new although it has no wear or tear anywhere and even the repainting work has been done only a year or so back. Yet whenever you and your spouse come back from respective workplaces you are worried by the look of your cabinet which again makes you both depressed so that you both loose your appetite. Why is this so? This is because of the simple reason that you haven’t done much cleaning kitchen cabinets for some time.

What are the initial steps to be taken for cleaning the cabinet? The first step is to empty out the whole cabinet by taking out everything so that there is absolutely nothing left in any drawer or cabinet. If you leave out anything then the chances of that item to get damaged during the cleaning process is more. The empty cabinet is then ready for cleaning and this is done with simple dish wash soap and warm water.

When you clean you must not leave out any part of the cabinet untouched as any food smudges might create problem later on. Thorough cleaning on weekly basis helps the cabinet to be insects and germ free. Again, this also makes the cooking more hygienic and thus tastier. You ought to make cleaning kitchen cabinets a regular process or as a discipline so as to ensure the durability of your cabinet.

When the cleaning is over with the solution you must then dry it with apiece of dry cloth. It would be better to keep a dry cloth on hand so as to clean it every day so that there is no scope for smudges to stick on to the cabinet. For those stains and grease that are difficult to remove there are different types of cleaning solution in the market.

These are not just soap and warm water but are chemicals and may cause reaction or damage if not properly checked before applying it on the cabinet. You ought to apply it at some hidden portion of the cabinet so as to check whether the paint gets spoiled or whether it causes any other damage to the cabinet. If you are sure that the solution is okay then you may apply it everywhere on the cabinet or on the effected portion only.

You must therefore be careful while you choose the solution and it is better to ask the advice of the paint dealer or the cabinet showroom manager as to which is the best solution to apply. Sometimes, it could make cleaning kitchen cabinets an interesting pass time for housewives.
