Are they turning yellow? If there is a polyurethane sealer on them, that might be the problem. Polyurethane tends to yellow over time so if it's over white paint, the paint will turn slightly yellow. If it's more of a gray or if you cook with a lot of grease, that could be "kitchen" dirt that goes into the air then settles on the cabinets. The only solution I know for that would be to wipe then down with equal parts of vinegar & water with a few drops of Dawn more often. :( I hope this helps you. Wishing you the best.
No sealing and not painted. It is a new kitchen and I may be a little OCD as nothing seems to come off on the cloth to show excess dirt. Heat is gas so not much residue from that. Thanks for the reply.
I noticed that you answered Naomie by saying you wanted to do a more thorough job for spring cleaning. If your cabinets are wood, you could use something like Old English that contains an oil to nourish wood cabinets. Otherwise, I'd say that the vinegar and water with a few drops of Dawn does an excellent job of thoroughly cleaning. The vinegar and Dawn will pretty much cut through any kind of dirt or grease. I'd say that you're doing a great job of keeping them as clean as possible. :)
Not painted. New kitchen cabinets from a custom kitchen design company. I do wipe them down regularly with vinegar and water, just wanted to do a more thorough spring cleaning. Thanks for the reply.
Every time I clean my mirrors, they end up having tons of streaks and almost look worse than before I started. What could I use to clean them that won't leave streaks...

Regular wiping with warm water, baking soda and a bit of dish liquid.

Wipe down on a regular basis. Hopefully quality paint was used.
