Cleaning cupboards is a task everyone dreads. It’s hard to reach the tops and the greasy buildup is hard to remove. Here are a few tricks to make things go smoother.
SUPPLIES
Dawn Powerwash
multipurpose cleaner of choice
plastic scraper
cleanthing clothes of choice
paper towel
newspaper
ladder or stool
PROCESS
SPRAY
Remove decor from the tops of the cupboards.
Spray Dawn Powerwash along the top, getting a good coating.
Work down the whole line of cupboards to give it a chance to work before wiping away.
SCRAPE
Use the plastic scraper to remove the bulk of the gunk.
Often, the dusty, greasy mess will form stringy, yucky balls of goop. Dispose of them in a paper towel.
WIPE
Use a cloth to wipe away the rest of the gunk. Rinse your cloth in hot soapy water as needed. Dawn Powerwash is super sudsy.
Finish with a clean cloth to ensure there’s no residue. Give the tops a chance to dry before placing things back up.
DECOR
Use Dawn Powerwash or a sink of hot soapy water to wash off the decor.
Dry with a clean cloth.
PROTECT
Lay newspaper or waxed paper on top of the cupboards to protect the wood.
Next time, you can just remove the decor, change out the paper and get back to life.
