Spring is here and it’s time for some spring cleaning! The kitchen can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to cleaning the cabinets. However, with these natural solutions, you can get your cabinets looking brand new in no time, allowing you to spend more time enjoying the beautiful weather with your family.
1) Vinegar
Vinegar is a safe and easy home cleaner. Mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle, spray, and wipe to remove dirt from your cabinets. For added polish, use a cloth with a few drops of olive oil in circular motions. Watch this video by Do it on a Dime for more tips on using vinegar to clean your cabinets naturally.
2) Baking Soda
Baking soda is great for cleaning hidden dirt and grime. Mix two parts baking soda with one part water to create a paste, then scrub your cabinets using a sponge. For greasy stains, use the same paste with coconut oil instead of water. Check out One Good Thing’s video to see how to use baking soda and coconut oil to clean your cabinets.
3) Warm Soapy Water
Fill a bowl with warm water, add a few drops of dish soap, and use a cloth to wipe or a toothbrush to scrub your cabinets. Be cautious of the dish soap you use, as some contain harmful chemicals.
4) Ice
Stubborn stains can be tackled with ice. Hold an ice-filled ziplock bag on the stain to harden it, then gently scrape it away. Follow up with any of the above methods to remove residue.
