A cleaning influencer on TikTok has shared a simple two-ingredient solution that she claims can clean greasy kitchen cabinets without any scrubbing. Chantel Mila, known as @mama_mila_ on the platform, has over 1.6 million followers and regularly posts accessible cleaning tips.
The Homemade Cleaning Solution
The mixture requires just a quarter cup of baking soda, a teaspoon of lemon juice, and one cup of water. According to Mila, baking soda is 'powerful' at eliminating grease, while the citric acid in lemon juice helps cut through grime. The ingredients should be combined in a bowl and applied to cabinets using a clean cloth in wide, circular motions. After letting the solution sit for five minutes, it can be wiped away with a warm, damp cloth, leaving cabinets 'shiny'.
Additional Benefits
Mila also noted that leftover lemon water can be poured down the sink to freshen it and help dissolve persistent blockages. In the caption of her video, she wrote: 'Say goodbye to tough grease on your kitchen cabinets. This mix is one of my favourites at cutting through tough grease and leaving your kitchen cabinets looking new again.'
Positive Reactions
Followers responded enthusiastically, with one commenting: 'Love when the house is clean and smelling good.' Another said: 'Such useful tips! I tried them and they worked.' A third shared: 'I bet it smells so fresh in your kitchen too.'
