Baking soda
Vegetable oil (any type will work)
A soft cloth or sponge
A small bowl
Warm water
Steps:
Create the Cleaning Paste:
In a small bowl, mix together one part baking soda with one part vegetable oil. You don’t need much—start with about a tablespoon of each, depending on the size of the area you need to clean. Stir the mixture until it forms a thick paste.
Apply the Paste to Greasy Areas:
Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the paste and gently apply it to the greasy areas on your cabinets. There’s no need to scrub hard; just ensure that the paste covers all the greasy spots.
Let It Sit for a Few Minutes:
Allow the paste to sit on the cabinets for about 5-10 minutes. This waiting period lets the mixture break down the grease and grime effectively.
Wipe Away the Grease:
After letting the paste sit, take a clean cloth or sponge dampened with warm water and gently wipe away the paste. You’ll notice that the grease and grime come off easily, leaving behind a clean, smooth surface.
Rinse and Repeat (If Necessary):
If you still see some greasy residue, repeat the process until your cabinets are completely clean. Most of the time, one application is enough, but particularly stubborn grime might require a second round.
Final Rinse and Dry:
Once you’ve removed all the grease, wipe down the cabinets with another clean cloth dampened with warm water to remove any remaining residue. Finally, dry the surface with a dry cloth to prevent any water spots.
