“What should you use to clean hardwood cabinets in the kitchen?”

• Bona Microfiber Cleaning Cloths
• Bona All-Purpose Cleaner Lime Basil scent or Lavender White Tea scent

To best clean wood cabinets, use either of Bona’s all purpose cleaners – Lime Basil scent or Lavender White Tea scent. Quick-drying and residue-free, our formula easily cuts through grease and grime without harming surfaces. For best results, use your Bona cleaning cloth for wood surfaces, which is great for getting into the tight corners and details such as moldings, while gathering up dust, food messes and greasy spatters.

Cleaning kitchen cabinets from start to finish

• First, be sure to clean up any spills or splashes that get on your cabinets immediately so that they don’t dry and become a problem for later. That said, regular kitchen cabinet cleaning can be done weekly or biweekly to keep them looking brilliant, and to prevent the need for difficult, deep cleaning.
• Start with dusting the cabinet tops if they don’t meet the ceiling. You can use a feather duster, which works well if you dust frequently. If your duster is made from real ostrich feathers, they will naturally attract the dust. A vacuum cleaner can also work well for this task. We recommend using your small brush attachment.
• Next, spray a bit of your Bona All-Purpose Cleaner onto your Bona Microfiber Cleaning Cloth so that it feels slightly dampened, but not soaking wet. The two are designed to perform optimally together. We advise not spraying directly onto your cabinets, since it may cause excess moisture, which could harm the surface paint or finish.
• Wipe cabinet doors from top to bottom, taking extra care where trim and moldings are concerned. Wipe the inside of your cabinets in the same way and be sure to get the hardware clean as well, all the while, being careful not to get liquid in the hinges.

How to clean sticky grease off kitchen cabinets

Even sticky grease is no match for the synergistic power of Bona All-Purpose Cleaners and microfiber cleaning cloths. In cases of grease or grime on kitchen cabinets, we first recommend gently misting your cabinet surfaces with our All-Purpose Cleaner; allowing it to soak in for a couple of minutes. Next, grab your Bona Microfiber Cleaning Cloth for kitchen surfaces (or the one for wood surfaces if you have wooden cabinets), which features a smart weave that especially cuts through tough grease and grime. With just a couple of wipes, you’re done!

Don’t forget to deep clean your kitchen cabinets

Even when you clean kitchen cabinets regularly, you’ll still want to do a good old-fashioned deep cleaning every 2-3 months. Clear off your shelves and take this time to ensure that expired, non-perishable food items are discarded and that your shelves are all clean and tidy. It never hurts to inspect food packages to make sure you don’t have any unwanted critters.

Once again, start with the top, and work your way down. You can still use your favorite Bona All-Purpose Cleaner and kitchen cleaning cloth. The good news is, now that you’ve been cleaning your cabinets on a regular basis, your deep cleaning process will go much faster.
