How to Clean Kitchen Cabinets

What You'll Need

• Soap-Man Turbo Clean Degreaser
• Soap-Man Vibes Multi-Surface Cleaner
• Microfiber cloths
• Warm water
• Baking soda (for tough spots)
• Soft-bristle brush

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1

   Start with handles and edges

   These areas get the most hand contact and grease buildup. Spray Turbo Clean Degreaser on a cloth and wipe each handle, pull, and edge.

2. 2

   Clean the cabinet faces

   Working from top to bottom, wipe each cabinet door with a cloth dampened with Vibes Multi-Surface Cleaner. Pay extra attention to areas near the stove.

3. 3

   Address grease buildup

   For sticky grease spots (common near the range hood area), apply Turbo Clean Degreaser directly, let it sit 2-3 minutes, then wipe. For stubborn spots, use a baking soda paste.

4. 4

   Dry and inspect

   Immediately dry each cabinet with a clean cloth to prevent water damage to the finish. Check for any spots you missed -- grease shows up clearly when the surface dries.

Pro Tips

• TIPThe cabinets directly above and beside your stove accumulate the most grease -- clean these twice as often as the rest.
• TIPTest any cleaner on a hidden area first, especially on painted or stained wood cabinets.
• TIPWipe cabinet handles weekly to prevent grime buildup -- they're the germiest surface in most kitchens.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• XUsing too much water on wood cabinets, which causes swelling, warping, and finish damage over time.
• XSpraying cleaner directly onto cabinet faces, which can drip into seams and damage the finish from the inside.
• XUsing vinegar on natural stone countertops near cabinets -- the overspray etches stone surfaces permanently.
