White kitchen cabinets can do a lot for your space. They can give your room a bright, airy look and even help make your space look bigger than it is. Over time, however, white kitchen cabinets may start to yellow because of the type of paint used, or from kitchen grease. If you are thinking about having new kitchen cabinets in Tucson installed in your home, there’s no need to shy away from white. Kitchen cabinets need to be cleaned periodically no matter what color they are, so you should make the decision based on what’s best for your space. Read on to learn how to clean white kitchen cabinets.
The Basics
Grease and smoke from cooking can take their toll on your cabinets. Before you get into deep cleaning, take the time to do a basic once-over on your kitchen cabinets. Make it part of your normal kitchen cleaning routine so that you don’t have to worry about more serious buildup. Use a solution of water with all-purpose cleaner or white vinegar, and place this in a spray bottle. Work on one cabinet at a time, using a soft sponge to scrub the surface in a circular motion. You can have a separate sponge damp with just water to get rid of the cleanser left behind, and use a soft cloth to dry the surface.
Serious Stains
Even when you are vigilant about cleaning your kitchen, spills and splatters can happen. These might result in stains on your white kitchen cabinets. To clean these, make a paste with baking soda and water. You can use a damp sponge or a soft-bristled toothbrush to apply the paste to the stains, scrubbing gently as you go. Leave the paste on the cabinets for a few minutes, and then wipe it off with a clean sponge. Your cabinets should respond well to this, leaving you with a sparkling kitchen.
