How to Clean Kitchen Cabinets Made of Wood

Step 1

Fill the kitchen sink with 3 quarts of hot water and 1 tablespoon of dish soap.

Step 2

Drop a cleaning rag into the soapy water, allow it to become saturated, and wring out the cloth.

Step 3

Wipe the cloth over all of the wooden areas of the cabinets, as well as the cabinet hardware.

Step 4

Apply an oil soap to cabinets if the dish soap alone doesn't get rid of heavy residue. Pour the soap onto a cleaning rag and wipe over the cabinets. The oil soap will also restore the natural wood shine to the cabinets.
