How to clean kitchen cabinets before painting?

I use TSP on anything I want to paint. It gets everything squeaky clean and ready to prime. Just be sure to let dry thoroughly before priming.

TSP, It can be bought at Lowe's, Home Depot, or a paint store

Krud Kutter (purchased off Amazon). Is TSP in spray bottle. WORKS amazingly well.

TSP trisodium phosphate... wear gloves, but it will clean cupboards or walls or almost anything and leave them totally paintable

Baby wipes are great for this too!

Some baby wipes contain a "oil" such a lanolin... which can effect how the paint adheres to the surface.

TSP is used as a deglosser. If your cabinets are greasy, use a degreaser first. Wear kitchen gloves as both are hard on the hands. I use a car sponge to make quick work of it.

I've used vinegar and water with MagicErasers; also Windex type cleaner. With that said, kitchens can have lots of greasy residue and buildup from cooking, dirty hands etc. TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) works beautifully and is a sure fire method of cleaning. Make sure you get edges and around knobs really clean (remove if possible for separate cleaning) and follow all safety precautions

Bloggers use Krud Kutter. You can use Dawn dishwashing detergent and water. While this is to remove dirt and grease, you still will need to sand before painting.

Equal parts water and vinegar will clean the cabinets. If there's a lot of grease build up, add a couple squirts of Dawn dish soap. It cuts thru grease really well.

clorax wipes will do trick

I’ve had great luck with Mrs Meyers All Purpose Cleaner. Smell is also amazing!

Wash them down with sudsy ammonia.

good old soap and water, then dry. Windex works too. Make sure you dry with cloth.

Mean Green

Use a product called Murphy's wood soap or Murphy's Oil Soap.Follow directions and wear rubber gloves.

Greased lightning works the best

I use Simple Green for any grease issues. Works wonderfully.

Murphy’s oil soap if you need something stronger ammonia works great

You need to degrease them first or the paint won't stick. I use Dollar Tree Awesome Orange in the half gallon, and the Awesome Degreaser. Pick up a car sponge, round plastic scrubbies and kitchen rubber gloves and a bucket to do the job. I first mix Awesome Orange in hot water and use the bucket and car sponge to wipe them down. If you encounter real grease, you use the Awesome Degreaser in the spray bottle and the scrubby to get it off. Then wipe with the Orange solution.

We used TSP, it was an inexpensive boxed powder I diluted in water.

I use awesome on everything I want stripped clean. You can get a good size bottle of it at the dollar tree for $1.00

this stuff even removes soot. I salvaged all kinds of stuff from a fire.

awesome is awesome and cheap!

If polished - Bio Washing powder and water, Gloves and a Brush and cloth
