Homemade remedies for spotless kitchen cabinets unveiled

In the kitchen, where meals are prepared daily, it's easy for greasy stains to accumulate on furniture. Water vapour, grease, and dust create an unpleasant, sticky layer on the cabinet fronts, which not only looks unattractive but also makes cleanliness difficult to maintain. Although there are various cleaning products available in shops, not all of them are effective.

To clean sticky fronts of kitchen cabinets effectively, you only need ingredients that you already have at home. The key is a simple mixture of warm water and regular vegetable oil—preferably rapeseed or sunflower oil. To prepare it, mix one part oil with three parts water and pour the mixture into a spray bottle. Shake well and spray the stained surfaces.

After a few moments, wipe them with a soft microfibre cloth. The grease comes off easily, leaving a thin protective layer on the fronts that slows down the re-accumulation of dirt. However, olive oil should be avoided as it may leave unsightly stains.

If you're not convinced about using oil, there are several equally effective homemade methods to deal with stubborn grease and dirt on kitchen furniture. One of the simplest options is a solution of vinegar and water in a 1:1 ratio. This mixture effectively handles greasy residues and refreshes surfaces.

Another effective method is a paste made from bicarbonate of soda and water. Mix the ingredients to achieve a thick paste consistency, then apply it to the stained area. Leave it on for a few minutes so that the bicarbonate of soda can dissolve the grease and soften the dirt, then wipe off with a soft sponge or cloth. Finally, rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any remaining bicarbonate of soda.
