Use this solution immediately after mixing for best results. Avoid storing for long periods, as vinegar and baking soda lose potency when combined in advance. For ongoing maintenance, clean cabinets with this method once a month or more frequently if cooking often.
Variations:
For wood cabinets, add a few drops of olive oil after cleaning to restore shine.
Substitute vinegar with lemon juice for a fresh scent and natural antibacterial benefits.
For high-gloss or laminate cabinets, use less baking soda to avoid abrasion.
FAQ:
Is this method safe for wooden cabinets?
Yes, but avoid soaking the surface. Use a damp cloth, not a wet one, and always dry immediately.
Can I skip the vinegar?
You can, but vinegar enhances degreasing power and helps break down sticky buildup. Lemon juice is a good alternative.
How often should I clean my cabinets?
Light cleaning once every 2–4 weeks prevents buildup. Deep clean every few months, especially near stoves.
Will this method damage paint or finishes?
No, if used gently with a soft cloth. Always test on a small area first if unsure about your cabinet material.
