How to Clean Kitchen Cupboards + Cabinets? Cleaning kitchen cupboards and cabinets is an essential part of maintaining a clean and hygienic kitchen.
Step 1: Remove Items Start by emptying the cabinets and cupboards. Take out all the dishes, food, and other items so that you can access every surface inside. This is also a great opportunity to declutter and organize your kitchen.
Step 2: Dust and Vacuum (Optional) If your cabinets have a lot of dust or crumbs, you can use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to quickly remove loose debris from inside. This step is optional but can make the cleaning process easier.
Step 3: Mix Cleaning Solution Create a cleaning solution by mixing warm water with a few drops of mild dish detergent. Alternatively, you can use a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water or a commercial kitchen cleaner following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 4: Wipe Down Exteriors Dip a microfiber or soft cleaning cloth into the cleaning solution and wring it out. Wipe down the exterior of the cabinets and cupboards, paying attention to any spots, stains, or built-up grime. For stubborn stains, you can add a little baking soda to the cloth to create a mild abrasive paste.
Step 5: Clean Handles and Hardware Use the cleaning solution and a cloth to clean the handles, knobs, and any other hardware on your cabinets. An old toothbrush can be helpful for getting into crevices and hard-to-reach areas.
Step 6: Clean Interior Shelves and Surfaces Dip a clean cloth in the cleaning solution and wipe down the interior shelves, walls, and any other surfaces. If you have spills or sticky residue inside, use a bit of baking soda to help scrub it off. Be sure to get into corners and edges.
Step 7: Rinse and Dry After cleaning, use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away any soap or cleaning solution residue. Then, dry all surfaces with a dry, clean cloth.
Step 8: Polish (If Applicable) If your cabinets have a wood or metal finish, you can use a suitable polish to restore their shine and protect the surface. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific type of cabinet material.
Step 9: Reorganize Once the cabinets and cupboards are dry, reorganize and place items back inside. Consider using organizing tools like shelf liners, dividers, or baskets to keep things tidy.
