Cleaning painted cupboards?

5 years ago

Time for spring cleaning, and looking for your hacks on cleaning painted cupboards. The odd grease spot here and there, like to wash them all down. TIA.

I use a Method grapefruit spray and a damp cloth. Apparently Designer Kitchen doesn't cook nor have anyone who isn't wearing gloves opening and closing cupboards.

The best thing to do is to test your process on the inside of a door to avoid any surprises.

(If the paint is in good shape, anything gentle should work...even not-so-gentle PineSol)

I use warm water and just a few drops of the original blue dawn. It does a great job.

Ventilation and proper hardware are the keys to keeping your cabinets clean. Your hands should never touch your cabinets.

Please note that Rebecca is asking about cleaning cabinets, not preventing them from needing cleaning.

It's different.
