Kitchen cabinets can be a persistent challenge to keep clean, but a cleaning expert on social media says the solution may already be in your cupboard. TikToker @neals_k recommends washing up liquid as the secret to maintaining an immaculate kitchen.
The expert insists that a straightforward bottle of washing up liquid is enough to keep kitchen cabinets spotless for extended periods. With prices starting from just 64p at Asda, it is an affordable option for households watching their spending.
Five Simple Tips for Spotless Cabinets
She shared five simple tips that have helped her keep her kitchen clean, with the washing up liquid trick as the star recommendation. The method is designed to tackle cabinets that are usually full of grease and fingerprints.
"For kitchen cabinets that are usually full of grease and fingerprints, grab a bowl, some water, washing up liquid and two clean microfibre cloths. One for cleaning and one for drying," she advised.
How to Apply the Method
Pour a few drops of washing up liquid into a bowl, fill it with warm water, and submerge one of the cloths before wringing it out until it's damp but not soaking wet. Beginning at the top, work your way down, wiping the kitchen cupboards clean.
Use circular motions to tackle any stubborn grease marks or fingerprints, methodically moving downwards until you've covered every cupboard from top to bottom. Depending on the type of surface, this same approach can be used on drawers too.
Finishing with a Buff
Once you've given everything a thorough clean, use the second microfibre cloth to buff the surfaces dry, leaving them sparkling as good as new. Highlighting just how well the method works, Neal added: "I find that this method doesn't give me the dreaded swirl."
