If you want to clean even the greasiest, grimiest kitchen cabinets with just two ingredients, here’s the simple, safe, and effective method:
🧽 Two Ingredients You Need
- Baking soda – a gentle abrasive that lifts grease and grime
- White vinegar – dissolves grease, disinfects, and removes odors
🪣 Step-by-Step Cleaning
1️⃣ Make a Cleaning Paste
- Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with enough white vinegar to form a thick paste.
- It will fizz initially—this reaction helps lift stubborn grease.
2️⃣ Apply to Cabinets
- Spread the paste onto greasy spots using a soft cloth or sponge.
- Focus on handles, edges, and areas near the stove where buildup is heaviest.
3️⃣ Let It Sit
- Let it sit 5–10 minutes for tough grease.
- The paste won’t damage wood or laminate if used gently.
4️⃣ Wipe Clean
- Wipe with a damp cloth, removing all paste and grime.
- Repeat for stubborn spots.
5️⃣ Dry and Polish
- Dry with a clean microfiber cloth.
- Optional: buff lightly with olive oil for a shiny finish (for wooden cabinets).
🌟 Tips for Best Results
- For regular maintenance, wipe cabinets with vinegar and water solution once a week.
- Avoid harsh scrubbing on painted or laminated surfaces to prevent scratches.
- Baking soda + vinegar works on metal handles too—shine them up while cleaning.
If you want, I can also give a “10-minute miracle” method that cleans entire kitchen cabinets, inside and out, without scrubbing, using only these two ingredients.
