When you clean before the holidays, don’t forget to clean the kitchen cabinets in addition to the floor and the table. It is not easy to clean them from dried grease or food residues. It is difficult to find a product that removes dirt without the risk of damaging the delicate surfaces of the furniture. However, there are home remedies that will make them shine again.

Regular cleaning of kitchen cabinets is essential if you want to keep your home clean and tidy. When preparing food, you probably touched the furniture with greasy or dirty hands.

As a result of the accumulation of fat, flour or baking residues inside and outside, this furniture becomes a breeding ground for dirt, unpleasant odors and germs. They must be disposed of, but in such a way as not to damage the delicate surface of the furniture. Always wash them with these gentle home remedies.

Greasy residue on kitchen cabinets – where do they come from? It’s natural if you cook a lot

It’s no surprise that greasy residue appears on kitchen cabinets, making them one of the heaviest pieces of furniture in an apartment. In the kitchen, especially during the Christmas season (when you prepare a lot of food), cooking fumes combine with gas deposits.

Water vapor is created, containing small particles of fat, which subsequently settle on the kitchen cabinets. This makes them look dirty and sticky, so they need to be washed regularly – both outside and inside, where there is also a lot of dirt and germs.

How to remove greasy residues from kitchen cabinets? Try these three home remedies

Strong cleaning agents can destroy the delicate surface of furniture, so it is safer to use proven home methods to clean them. One of the best and most versatile products you can use is… vinegar.

It is an acid known for its fat-dissolving properties.

  • Before use, dilute the vinegar with half the volume of water (2:1).

For more unpleasant, hard-to-remove stains, e.g. dried food scraps, you can also use a paste based on baking soda and water.

Another effective home remedy for oily deposits is a liquid made of three components:

  • citric acid (1 teaspoon)
  • 250 ml of water
  • a little soap
  • Mix the ingredients and thoroughly wash the cabinets – both sides, the front and the outside. They will be sparkling clean.

If you smell an unpleasant smell in your cupboards, for example from food, try the trick shared by the user @washy_wash on her TikTok account. This author regularly offers home improvement tips, and one of her fans asked how to get rid of the smell in kitchen cabinets from former tenants.

  • So the solution is a simple procedure: empty the cabinets, pour coffee beans into the bowl and leave it in the cabinet for about 48 hours. Coffee beans perfectly absorb odors and leave your cupboards beautifully fragrant.
