|
Wood cabinets have a lot of natural enemies and when you place them in your kitchen, you are placing those cabinets at greater risk. The wood can get dirty and greasy over time.
The best cleaning agent you can use to cut the grease and other cooking stains is white vinegar, water, and a touch of dishwashing liquid. Do not press too hard when cleaning and when you are done, your cabinets should look good again.
How to care for kitchen cabinets
One trick you need to do is to not use an abrasive cleaner. Those harsh cleaners are great for metal surfaces, but they are not made for kitchen cabinets.
A mild cleaner will work just fine as long as you do not put a lot of pressure on your cleaning cloth. Gentle but firm pressure is all you need. Then when you mix your cleaner, do not get your cabinets too wet, especially around the hinges.
To much moisture will ruin the integrity of your cabinets and they can fall apart sooner than you would like. Also, do not forget to clean all the crevices and hardware. An old toothbrush is the best cleaning tool to use on those items.
Should you oil kitchen cabinets?
It is tempting to use oily cleansers, polishes, etc., on your wood cabinets. But wood does not need those treatments to look good. If your wood cabinets look dry or cracked it is because they lack moisture.
Those cracks and dry looks are a sign that your kitchen lacks humidity. Also, to keep all your cabinets looking great all you need is a little soap and water as well as cleaning up spills and messes right away.
Letting those spills, etc., sit for a while only weakens your kitchen cabinets.
How often for cupboard cleaning
People have busy schedules these days and it is hard to find the time to clean your cupboards. However, you do not have to clean them on a daily basis. The frequency of cleaning your cupboards depends on how much cooking you do each month. At worst, a heavily used kitchen will require cleaning about once every month.
