Anyone who has tried to deep clean a kitchen will know that it can be a daunting task. No matter how much you try, there always seems to be a stain on the surface of your cabinets. And no matter what you do, those stains never seem to go away. But don’t worry! This article includes a list of different methods for removing these stubborn stains from your cabinets and will go over each one in detail so that you can pick the method best suited for your needs!
Water And Vinegar
This is perhaps the easiest method available. All you need to do is mix equal parts of water and white vinegar in a bowl. Apply this mixture to your cabinets with a cloth or sponge, wait 5 minutes, then wipe clean. This should remove any surface stains on your cabinets, but for tougher stains, it may be helpful to let the mixture sit for 30 minutes before scrubbing it off with a sponge. This method works great for cabinets with a relatively smooth surface, but if you have cabinets with many nooks and crannies, this method may not work well for you.
Baking Soda And Water
This is an excellent method for removing stains from your cabinets. To use this method, mix equal parts baking soda and water in a bowl until you have a paste-like consistency. Apply the mixture to your cabinets with a sponge or cloth, then let it sit for 10 minutes. After letting it sit for 10 minutes, wipe off any excess baking soda with a sponge, rinse your cloth/sponge, and wipe clean. If there are any stains left over after this method, try repeating the steps. This method works best on cabinets with fairly smooth surfaces but will still work pretty well on other types of cabinets as long as you’re careful not to let the baking soda sit for too long.
Diluted Ammonia
Although not the best smelling option, diluted ammonia is excellent for cabinet stains. It doesn’t leave a sticky residue behind and works well on wood and laminate cabinets. All you have to do is mix equal parts of ammonia and water in a bowl to use this method. Then, apply the mixture to your cabinets with a cloth or sponge and wipe clean. This method is great for cabinets with grooves and ridges (laminate) or wooden cabinets. If the stains on your cabinets are particularly tough, you may need to let the ammonia sit for up to an hour before wiping it off with a cloth or sponge.
