How to Clean Kitchen Cabinets

If your kitchen cabinets are looking old and worn, restore their luster and shine by giving them a good cleaning. It'll take years off of their looks. Follow these easy steps and get your kitchen cabinets looking brand new again.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Mild soap
• Wood cleaner
• Orange oil
• Soft rags

1. Wash all exterior surfaces down with a mild soap in warm water. Use
   a soft cloth.
2. Remove excess wax and other hard to remove substances with a wood
   cleaner. Follow the directions on the cleaner's container carefully.
3. Wipe the cabinets down with a dry, soft cloth.
4. Purchase wood polish. Orange oil works great and leaves a yummy
   citrus smell in your kitchen.
5. Spray the cabinets down one at a time with the orange oil. Then, rub the oil into the cabinets using a soft cloth.
6. After all the cabinets are oiled, use a new cloth to wipe them down one last time. This will remove any excess oil from the cabinets and leave them with a nice sheen.
