Part 3: The Deep Clean – A Step-by-Step Plan
When the grease has built up, it’s time for a focused clean.
What You’ll Need:
-
A soft microfiber cloth
-
A gentle scrubbing sponge (non-abrasive!)
-
An old toothbrush (for details and grooves)
-
Your chosen natural cleaner
The Process:
-
Work in Sections: Tackle one cabinet door at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Apply & Sit: Spray your cleaner onto the cloth and wipe the surface. Let it sit for a minute to break down the grease.
-
Scrub Gently: Use the sponge on flat areas and the toothbrush for corners, grooves, and around handles.
-
Wipe & Dry: Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away the residue, then buff dry with another microfiber cloth to prevent streaks.
-
Don’t Forget: Wipe the tops and undersides of cabinets—these are hidden grease magnets!
