This liquid gold (or blue?)
is a pro cleaner favorite, but other degreasers will also do the trick.
White Vinegar
Regularwhite vinegar, another household staple, can quickly wipe away the grease.
Its the preferred way to degrease cabinets forForrest Webber, owner of Bear Brothers Cleaning.
Simply mix equal parts vinegar to water and gently rub with a cloth.
Webber cautions against using aggressive cleaners as they may damage your cabinetry.
We never want to put harsh chemicals on our cabinets because they can easily leave marks, he says.
The pros say to opt for microfiber for the best results.
And in some cases, just using microfiber with warm water can clean up yourcabinets and knobs!
Extra Tips
Conversely, steer clear of rough or abrasive materials and chemicals to eliminate stuck-on grime.
“Also, abrasive scrubbing tools can scratch or dull cabinet surfaces when cleaning this area.”
Another piece of advice from Picosa?
Add cleaning the cabinets to your routine at least once a month.
This will help grime from building up too much, making your cleaning easier, she says.
