"Covering a good portion of your kitchen walls and storing an equally large percentage of your kitchen essentials, your cabinets are of chief importance for both storage and aesthetics. If your cabinets are looking less than their best, they can drag down the overall appeal of your entire kitchen, creating a dull or dated finish. Luckily, it's easy to fix this - but if you've been addressing this issue with furniture polish, we have a more effective - and cheaper - solution: soapy water."
"Even if you haven't been getting the results you want from furniture polish, it might be the fault of the polish and not the state your cabinets are in. Furniture polish contains petroleum solvents, which it waxes the wood with to create a nice shine, but one that soon dulls so you have to clean your cabinets more often to keep up with it."
Kitchen cabinets occupy large wall areas and store many essentials, making them central to both storage and kitchen aesthetics. When cabinets look weathered or dull, they reduce the overall appeal of the kitchen and can create a dated finish. A thorough scrub with soapy water can instantly brighten and refresh cabinets without painting. Soap and water break down and remove buildup and dirt, restoring a vibrant, good-as-new appearance without leaving a waxy film. Petroleum-based furniture polishes wax the wood to create shine but soon dull and require more frequent cleaning. Use common kitchen staples for an inexpensive, effective cabinet refresh before considering renovation.
