How to clean kitchen cabinets

This life hack is suitable for regular and matte kitchen cabinets. Maintaining the attractiveness of a flawless matte finish requires extra effort, but you can use the tools at hand.

What you will need:

• a microfiber cloth;
• a brush with soft bristles;
• dishwashing detergent;
• baking soda;
• white vinegar.

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1

When it comes to cleaning the kitchen, it's always best to start with what's called an inventory. You should go through the condiments and cereals in the cupboards, and wash the glasses and dishes.

"Wipe off any dust or debris from the kitchen cabinets with a clean and dry microfiber cloth or a soft-bristled brush," suggests Emily Barron, a cleaning specialist at Property Rescue.

Step 2

Now it's time to thoroughly clean the surfaces. Pour warm water into a container and add a few drops of dishwashing detergent. For stubborn stains or spills, use a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. The powerful chemical reaction will help break down the fat molecules.

Step 3

It's equally important to clean the surfaces with detergent to prevent stains. Make sure the cabinets are completely dry before putting the dishes back in. Excessive moisture can encourage mold growth. Use a dry microfiber cloth to collect excess moisture and leave the cabinet doors open until they are completely dry.
