Tips & Warnings

• One alternative is to use a damp sponge that has been microwaved for 30 seconds. Handle the steaming sponge with rubber gloves, as it will be hot. If you have food caked on your cabinets, dampen with hot water and clean using one of the above methods. If it remains, use a butter knife to gently loosen the food, then repeat your cleaning method.
