Homeowners continue to install shaker-style cabinets because of the cabinets’ timeless beauty and modern appeal. One of the best ways to keep white shaker cabinet doors looking new is to know how to clean them. Here are some tips for cleaning and maintaining white kitchen cabinets.
Basic Cleaning Tips
Cleaning shaker cabinets don’t require special tools or cleaning products. A soft cloth and mild detergent are all one needs to clean the cabinets well. Wood cleaners can be used, but they’re not necessary.
When cleaning the cabinet doors, take the time to do a thorough job. Spray one door at a time, wipe it down, and dry it completely before moving on to the next door.
Removing Fingerprint Stains
White cabinets show dirt and grime more than other colors. They also show off fingerprints. To remove finger marks from the cabinets, use a 50/50 vinegar and water mixture. Soak a soft towel in this solution then wipe down the cabinet. Use another cloth to dry the cabinet.
Remove Grease Stains
The kitchen is the heart of the home and it receives its fair share of daily usage. Grease stains show up frequently on the cabinets above the stove and can be unsightly. Removing grease quickly is the best way to preserve the cabinets’ beauty. The same vinegar and water mixture used to remove fingerprint stains works great for grease stains. Yet, one might have to apply the solution to the stain several times to remove the stain.
