Dawn Dish Soap: 3
The previous tips were fro extra greasy cabinets and more of a deep clean feel. If you want to quickly clean your wooden kitchen cabinets you should do this on a daily basis after washing your dishes and especially after cooking.
Instructions:
Use the sponge or cloth you use to wash the dishes or a drying cloth. Add a dab of Dawn dish soap to the cloth. Next, quickly glide the cloth over the doors. Rinse the cloth and wipe once more.
This is called “maintenance” and will keep your cabinets in tip-top-appearance all the time.
.USE WALNUTS TO GET RID OF SCRATCHES
Method: 4
If your wood cabinet has scratches on it don’t worry just use a walnut to fill it in. All you have to do is rub the walnut over the scratches until it gets rid of most of them. This hack was suggested by a close friend of mine so it will be cool to see if it actually works.
.BABY OIL:5
After you are finished with cleaning the cabinets apply some baby oil on a dry cloth and GENTLY wipe the cabinet.
This is more of a finishing look tip rather than a cleaning method .t
This gives the cabinet an awesome shiny look that is pleasing to the eyes. Not only that but, your visitors or family will find them pleasing to the eyes.
Note: Avoid using too much baby oil as this can make the wood too oily. A small drip on the dry cloth goes a far way.
WAX SHOE POLISH:6
While baby oil works, i prefer to use wax shoe polish simply because its less greasy. To do this, apply a small amount of shoe polish to a cloth then rub it all over the exterior of the cabinet. There should not be clumps of polish visible.
Allow it to sit for 15 minutes then use a dry clean (soft) cloth to rub the surface as if massaging it until the shine starts coming.
The finish product is amazing. This is where you’ll get a shine that is not greasy but, just spectacular.
