How to Clean Gummy Wooden Kitchen Cupboards
Materials Needed
- Warm water
- White distilled vinegar
- Mild liquid dish soap
- Nylon sponge with a scrubbing pad
- Cloths

- Place a stopper in the kitchen sink. Turn on warm water and allow it to fill the sink. You will need about 2 gallons of warm water to clean the cupboards. Add 2 cups of white distilled vinegar to the sink. Follow the vinegar with 2 tablespoons of mild liquid dish detergent.
- Swish a nylon sponge around in the sink to mix the liquids. The nylon sponge should also contain a scrubbing pad on it to clean the cupboards. Wring only a small amount of water from the sponge to clean the cupboards.
- Use the scrubbing pad to thoroughly clean the cupboards. Saturate the sponge as often as possible in the cleaning solution. Refill the sink using Step 1 if the cleaning solution becomes too dirty.
- Drain the sink and fill it with clean water. Use the clean water and a cloth to rinse the cupboards. Dry them with a dry clean cloth. Allow the cupboards to further dry by air.
- Pour lemon oil on a clean cloth. Wipe the cupboards with the lemon oil soaked cloth to return the shine.
