To remove sticky build up from kitchen cabinets, this natural solution is a game changer.
If you're often cooking up a storm in your kitchen, you've probably noticed your cupboards getting sticky or grimy. This is a common problem especially for avid cooks, as frying or sautéing sends grease particles into the air that settle on nearby surfaces.
Very irritating, especially since very few of us are committing to a complete kitchen wipe down after each day. The good news is it's easy enough to clean up every now and again with this one hero item, that's probably already in your cleaning arsenal: vinegar. You can whip up your own grime-fighting cleaning solution - just add equal parts white vinegar and warm water to a spray bottle then lightly spritz it onto the cabinets and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it off with a microfiber cloth. If the grease proves stubborn, you can add some dish soap. However, avoid using undiluted vinegar as it could damage your cupboards - always dilute it first. According to food and lifestyle website The Takeout, the water and vinegar solution is safe for most surfaces, including natural wood, painted surfaces, laminate, and plastic. If you're concerned about how your cabinets will react, test the solution on a small area first. Vinegar's mild acidity makes it an excellent cleaning tool, capable of cutting through stains and dirt without damaging fabrics and surfaces, or leaving a sticky residue like soap may do It can also be used to remove clothing stains, clean dishwashers, polish stainless steel, unclog drains, clean windows, and freshen up rooms, reports the Express . But refrain from using vinegar on those lovely stone countertops like marble and limestone, as its acidic nature can dull and gradually dissolve these materials - not ideal. While the mild acidity of vinegar combined with water helps shift grime and grease from surfaces, it's not antibacterial, so stick to your regular anti-bac sprays for your most-used surfaces. According to Dr Eric Beckman of the University of Pittsburgh, 'Vinegar is one of the safest and smelliest options, but it is one with a high risk-we just don't know that it's effective against bacteria and viruses. When it comes to killing the virus, the gentler the compound is, the less effective it probably is.' Stick to just mixing vinegar with water, too - combining vinegar with hydrogen peroxide or bleach is very dangerous, resulting in a toxic mixture.
