Easy-to-Make Powerful Cabinet Cleaner Tips & Recipes

Homemade Cabinet Cleaner

Before you get started, remember one of the most crucial cleaning tips to cleaning kitchen cabinets: never spray all the wood surfaces at once. Start by putting the spray on a small area that is not seen all the time.

If the wood does not react, you can start to clean wood cabinets one at a time. To get most of the grease and grime out of your cabinets, check this out.

DIY Cabinet Cleaner using Oil & Vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 5 tablespoons of white vinegar
  • 2 cups of warm water

Combine ingredients in a spray bottle and shake until thoroughly mixed. With a soft cloth, wipe and scrub the wood cabinets. Once you’ve finished, the wood will be nice and shiny (and gunk free!).

Use this recipe if you’re trying to remove a water stain on wood cabinets or make a larger batch to use as a homemade hardwood floor polish. Stains and streaks will disappear from your cabinets and floors with this simple recipe.

DIY Cabinet Cleaner using Vinegar

If you’re looking for a natural cleaner, grab some white vinegar from the cabinet and some water. Combine equal parts vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle and spray the cabinets.

Allow the mixture to sit for three to five minutes before you start wiping. Take a soft cloth and wipe and scrub the wood cabinets. If this is not working as effectively as you’d like, open the spray bottle and add a teaspoon of dish soap. Shake the spray bottle well and respray the cabinets.

Baking Soda Cabinet Cleaner

If you’re getting your home ready for a gathering, you’re going to want to clean almost all visible surfaces. Start by cleaning the cabinets with this simple baking soda recipe, then bring the mixture over to start cleaning patio furniture, too.

  • 1 cup of baking soda

Mix the ingredients in a small bowl until nice, thick paste forms. If it seems too runny, add more baking soda. Apply the mixture to the cabinets and handles and allow it to sit for approximately five minutes.

Use a soft, wet rag to wipe away the mixture and stains on the wood cabinets. Wipe the cabinets with a dry microfiber cloth.

Home Remedy to Clean Kitchen Cabinets and Floors

Stubborn stains are hard to get out of the wooden cabinets and hardwood floors. Salt and vinegar work well as a kitchen cabinet cleaner and a DIY wood floor cleaner.

  • Equal parts vinegar

Combine ingredients in a small bowl and stir the solution until thoroughly combined. Apply the paste to stubborn areas and let it sit for a few minutes.

Use an old soft-bristled toothbrush to scrub the stain. Don’t apply too much pressure, as this could scratch the wood. Rinse the paste off the wood cabinets with a wet cloth and dry the areas with a clean towel.

Homemade Wood Cleaner

Wood cabinets need to be cleaned every so often, but there are still other wood surfaces that need extra love and care, too. This wood cleaner recipe can be used on your hardwood floor and your tile floor, but it should not be used to clean suede furniture.

All-Purpose Wood Cleaner Recipe

  • 1/2 cup of white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable glycerin
  • 20 to 30 drops of lavender essential oil
tb1234

Mix all the ingredients and pour the solution into a spray bottle. Shake the bottle well before each use.

Spray the solution onto the wood surface and use a microfiber cloth to scrub and wipe away the spray. This is a great solution for cleaning hardwood floors naturally without worrying about damaging the wood.

Toothbrush Tip for Wood Cabinets

We’ve given you a bunch of different wood cabinet cleaning recipes to fall back on. However, there is one piece of the puzzle that hasn’t been mentioned yet: hardware. When cleaning your kitchen cabinets, make sure you polish and clean the hardware, too. Grab an old toothbrush and dip it in the cleaner you’ve mixed.

Whether you’re using the washing soda recipe, oil soap recipe, or vegetable oil recipe, thoroughly soak the toothbrush. Scrub around the hardware and around the trim to remove unwanted stains. Try not to put the toothbrush directly on the face of the hardware, as this could scratch the knobs or pulls.

Kitchen Cabinet Grime Remover

Many tips and tricks involve using some oil, whether it is vegetable or olive oil. However, this tip requires coconut oil.
