Advice: How to clean greasy kitchen cabinets without damaging the finish
Dilute whatever cleaner you use; for LA’s, use ¼ cup of cleaner to 2½ cups water. Dawna few drops of detergent to a bowl of warm water for general cabinet cleaning. For stubborn areas, it says to squirt detergent directly onto a sponge or cloth while holding it under running warm water. Test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area before you commit to cleaning everything. Let the area dry, and inspect it under a bright light to ensure you didn’t change the cabinet’s sheen or color.
Using warm water with the cleaner helps, because heat softens grease. But don’t make the water too hot, and be careful if you’re cleaning wood veneer. Heat and water can soften the adhesive used to attach veneer, and moisture can permanently distort particleboard, which is often used as a base for veneer.Use a clean cloth or sponge to spread the cleaning solution. An old toothbrush can help get into corners. Avoid soaking the surface.
If these steps still leave dirty areas, you might want to repeat the cleaning. Novak recommends waiting for the area to dry thoroughly between cleanings, though, as insurance against introducing so much water that it soaks through the surface. Be sure to clean the high-touch areas of cabinets frequently, Brazie said. In most kitchens, that means the front of the silverware drawer and the doors on cabinets that store glasses and plates.
Even after this two-step cleaning, areas around knobs and pulls may still look dull or different from surrounding wood. Cleaning can’t fix these problems, but careful touch-ups can. Unless you are quite handy, you might want to call in a pro. Furniture Medic affiliates that offer this service typically charge $600 to $800 for a thorough cleaning of kitchen cabinets, Novak said, and restoring color and finish to bare areas might add $30 per door or drawer.
