How Often Should You Clean Your Cabinets?
While a full deep-clean doesn’t need to happen often, a light wipe-down every week or two can prevent buildup from returning.
You can also:
- Wipe cabinet doors with a warm, soapy cloth while doing your weekly dishes
- Keep vinegar spray in a labeled bottle for quick spot cleaning
- Address spills or splatters immediately to prevent sticking
Preventing Future Grease and Grime
Once your cabinets are sparkling clean, it’s worth putting in a few habits to keep them that way:
1. Improve kitchen ventilation
Use the range hood every time you cook, even if it’s just boiling water. Grease travels!
2. Use splatter guards
They reduce grease from frying or sautéing.
3. Avoid heavy oil-based furniture polishes
These can attract dust and trap grime. Opt for light beeswax polish or dry cloth dusting.
4. Wipe cabinet handles weekly
They’re one of the first spots to collect cooking residue from our fingers.
Restoring the Heart of Your Kitchen
Your kitchen sees a lot of life—joyful meals, quiet mornings, family holidays, and everything in between. It deserves some care in return.
With a few natural ingredients and an hour or two of attention, you can remove years of grease and bring back the shine your cabinets once had. It’s not just about appearances. It’s about creating a space that feels fresh, clean, and welcoming.
So put on your favorite music, roll up your sleeves, and give your kitchen the love it’s earned.
You’ll be amazed at how much better the room feels when those sticky spots are gone—and how satisfying it is to have done it yourself.
