My mother-in-law shared her DIY Miracle Cleaner recipe for greasy cabinets and countertops. It’s the real deal!

1. Start by mixing 1 cup of white vinegar with 1 cup of warm water in a spray bottle. The vinegar will act as a natural degreaser due to its acidic nature.
2. Add a few drops of Dawn dish soap into the mixture. Dawn is known for its ability to cut through grease effectively.
3. Close the spray bottle and shake it gently to mix the ingredients together.
4. Now, sprinkle some baking soda directly onto the greasy surface. Baking soda is a mild abrasive that helps lift caked-on grease.
5. Spray the vinegar solution over the baking soda. You’ll notice it fizzing up, which indicates the mixture is reacting to dissolve the grease.
6. Let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes to break down the grease.
7. Use a sponge or a microfiber cloth to scrub the surface gently. The grease should come off easily thanks to the combined action of these ingredients.
8. Finally, wipe down the surface with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue and let it air dry.
Additional Tips for Optimal Results
1. For excessive build-up, repeat the process until the surface is completely clean.
2. Use microfiber cloths as they are highly effective at capturing grease and dirt.
3. Regular maintenance will result in less intensive cleaning sessions in the future.
My mother-in-law’s DIY Miracle Cleaner is not only effective but also a cost-efficient and eco-friendly alternative to store-bought cleaners. Give it a try, and you’ll be amazed at how effortlessly your kitchen surfaces will shine.
