A Hometalker recently told me that the best way to clean grimy cabinets is to put some dishwashing powder on a damp cloth and wipe off all the grime. In my house, we have a toddler and a preschooler (if you’re wondering how this cabinet got so dirty, that’s how!) so our cabinets get pretty grimy pretty fast. I tried out this cleaning tip and, I have to say, it was amazing!
Isn’t that magic? So, back to how it all started…
Yep, I told you they were bad! Never underestimate the havoc two little girls can wreak on wooden cabinets. Anyway, here’s what I did… Step 1: Gather Your Materials
I used a paper towel and some dishwashing powder. Whatever powder you have should work well enough to cut the grease. Step 2: Dampen a Cloth or Paper Towel
I held my paper towel under the faucet and added a little bit a water until it was nice and damp. Step 3: Sprinkle Powder on Your Paper Towel
Then, I scooped up some dishwashing powder and brought it on over to my paper towel.
I sprinkled on just a bit of dishwashing powder — not even half a teaspoon is needed. Step 4: Wipe Your Dirty Surface
Next, I got to work cleaning. I say work, but the coarse texture of the dishwashing powder did all the scrubbing for me. After a quick wipe, all I had to do was brush off some loose powder.
Aaand that’s it! After this little trick, my cabinets were amazingly clean and there were signs of little messy monsters.
