Kitchen cleaning : Kitchen cabinets

Clean and shiny
To keep your cabinets clean and shiny with a fresh scent that will cut the grease from cooking, use a cup of vinegar in a gallon of hot water to wash down your cabinets. Wipe them dry with a soft cloth for a streak free clean.

Cover scratches
To darken the color of your cupboards and to cover scratches, use a gallon of hot water, add twelve tea bags. Let this steep for a few minutes and then wash down your wood cabinets with this water stain and dry with a soft cloth.

Lemon will brighten
You can use a cup of lemon juice and half a gallon of water to clean lighter colored wood cupboards. The fresh lemon also will brighten the color of the wood as it dries.

Fire or cigarette smoke
You can cut fire or cigarette smoke stains on your wood cupboards by using a cup of ammonia, a quart of warm water, and a sponge. A little elbow grease will cut through this grime in no time.

Keep dust at bay
Daily cleaning of your cupboards with a moist soft cloth with warm water will keep dust at bay, then drying with a soft cloth immediately will keep streaks to a minimum.
