Lemon Juice And Salt
This is a great option for removing stains from laminate cabinets. Combine lemon juice and salt in a bowl until evenly mixed, then apply the mixture to your cabinets with a cloth or sponge. After letting it sit for 10 minutes, wipe clean with a cloth or sponge and rinse any leftover residue off with warm water. This method will remove the tough stains you might find on your cabinets. This method is important to do first if you have a lot of stains, as it will remove more minor stains to make way for other methods.
Oil Soap
You can clean stains and polish your cabinets with oil soap, a non-abrasive cleanser that makes your cabinets look new while causing no damage. When cleaning wood cabinets using this method, use damp, not soaked, cloths to avoid damage. If you over-saturate the liquid, it will harm the wood. Buff and polish the cabinets with a dry microfiber cloth once you’re done cleaning. Applying this method and using too much liquid may leave a film behind on the cabinets. If you find that your cabinets have a shiny surface after using oil soap, dry them with an absorbent cloth or towel so that they don’t get slippery.
Mineral Spirits Or Rubbing Alcohol
If you would like to remove stains from cabinets with a rough surface, mineral spices or rubbing alcohol will help remove tough stains. If your cabinet has an intricate design and is made out of wood, using this method may cause damage to it, so take caution while using these methods. To use mineral spirits, pour a small amount on a dry cloth and wipe the surface of your cabinets down.
Apply this method in circular motions to remove any tough stains. Make sure you aren’t putting too much pressure on your cabinets when applying this method because it can damage them if applied too roughly. If you prefer using rubbing alcohol, simply add to a spray bottle and spray the surface of your cabinets and wipe clean. If you find that your cabinet has a shiny surface after using this method, use mineral spirits to dull it down before applying oil soap for polishing again. Mineral spirits or rubbing alcohol will give you great results if used correctly; however, they can remove some wood finishes if applied incorrectly.
Conclusion
Cleaning your kitchen cabinets can give them a fresh new look. After the stains are gone, you may want to re-paint your cabinets or apply a new finish. All of these options will allow for newer-looking cabinets that will brighten up your kitchen without spending too much! Follow these steps to remove tough stains from kitchen cabinets.
