Grease-Free Kitchen Cabinets in No Time!
If you’ve ever cooked in a kitchen with cabinets near the stove, you know how quickly they can become covered in a greasy film. Cooking oils, dust, and particles from frying or sautéing settle on your cabinets, making them sticky and difficult to clean. But don’t worry—there’s an easy, natural solution to this problem that doesn’t involve harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing. My aunt taught me a genius method using just baking soda and vegetable oil that will have your cabinets looking pristine with almost no effort.
Why Does This Method Work?
- Baking Soda: It’s mildly abrasive, which makes it an excellent cleaner for breaking down grease without damaging your cabinet’s surface. Plus, it’s a natural deodorizer, so it also helps get rid of any lingering smells trapped in the grime.
- Vegetable Oil: This may seem counterintuitive—using oil to clean grease? But the science behind it is simple: « like dissolves like. » The vegetable oil helps loosen the sticky grease, making it easier to wipe away. It also gives your cabinets a slight shine without leaving them looking greasy.
What You’ll Need:
- Baking soda
- Vegetable oil (any kind you have on hand)
- A soft cloth or sponge
- A bowl
- Warm water
