Cabinets are a focal point of any kitchen, so when they’re dirty, people will notice. When it comes to spills and stains, white cabinets aren’t as forgiving as the darker ones. However, white kitchen cabinets are no harder to keep clean than any other. Today, we will show you some amazing ways to have your cabinets always appear spotless!
Being Proactive is the Key
When it comes to cleaning white cabinets, the most important thing is being proactive. Clean any spills and stains immediately. Clean your kitchen cabinets thoroughly every other month even if you can’t notice any filth. Everything you do in the kitchen affects your cabinets and appliances. Even simple cooking will release particles that will cling to your white cabinets and ruin their freshness over time.
To clean your cabinets, mix a 50-50 solution of white vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle. Spray the cabinets and scrub the surface with a soft sponge in a circular motion.
Protect Your Cabinets from Direct Sunlight
Direct sunlight is the biggest reason why white kitchen cabinets turn yellow, but there are many things you can do to prevent this from happening. Install blinds, curtains or tinted glass windows to keep your cabinets safe from sunlight.

How to Clean White Cabinets That Have Yellowed?
If your white kitchen cabinets have already yellowed, there are some things you can try to bring back their freshness. To remove yellow grease stains, put a small amount of undiluted ammonia on a wet sponge and clean the cabinets from the bottom up. Wipe the cabinet, scrubbing gently to cut through the grease. Rinse the sponge and wipe the ammonia of the cabinets, then dry them with a soft towel.
For tough yellow stains, make a paste of ½ cup baking soda and ¼ cup water. Use a damp sponge or a soft toothbrush to scrub the yellow spots. Leave the paste on cabinets for about 5 minutes then wipe it away with a damp sponge. Dry the cabinets with a soft towel.
Don’t Be Afraid of White Cabinets
Many people tend to be a little afraid of white kitchen cabinets as they have a reputation of being harder to maintain. The truth is, they are as easy to clean as any other cabinets, so don’t let the fear get to you. White kitchen cabinets are a perfect choice for a timeless, modern and elegant style.
