How to Clean Kitchen Cabinets: A Brilliant Hack Using Dawn and Tide

I happened to have a handy floor squeegee at home, which I thought would be the perfect tool for this project.

The beauty of the squeegee is that you can easily wrap it with a floor cloth and wash it once you're done, eliminating the need for dirty used mops on your cabinets.

Here are my cabinets before, they aren’t super dirty but there are a few grimy marks I can test.

My primary motivation for giving this trick a try was the ongoing challenge I face when it comes to reaching the uppermost section of my cabinet doors during my cleaning routine.

1. Prepare Your Cleaning Solution

Begin by filling a bowl with a bit of water. Then, add six pumps of Dawn Powerwash* to the water, and for an extra cleaning boost, include a tablespoon of Tide wash.
