Step-by-Step Cabinet Spring Cleaning Guide
1. Empty Your Cabinets Completely

Decluttering Tip: Haven’t used it in a year? It’s time to let it go!
2. Deep Clean Cabinet Surfaces
Your cabinets may look clean, but hidden grime builds up over time!
Best Cleaning Methods for Different Cabinet Types:
Wood Cabinets: Use a mix of warm water and Dawn dish soap.
Painted Cabinets: Wipe with a microfiber cloth and water—avoid harsh chemicals.
Pro Tip: Don’t forget to clean inside drawers, cabinet hardware, and door handles—they accumulate bacteria and fingerprints!
3. Organize Like a Pro
Before putting everything back, maximize your storage space and organization:
Use Storage Solutions: Lazy Susans, stackable bins, and drawer dividers keep things tidy.
Label Everything: A label maker or stylish chalk labels create a Pinterest-worthy look.
Maximize Vertical Space: Install shelf risers or wall-mounted racks for extra storage.
Monica-Approved Hack: Keep frequently used items at eye level for easy access!
4. Freshen Up Your Space
Make your cabinets look and smell fresh:
Add shelf liners to protect surfaces and simplify future cleaning.
Use matching storage containers for a sleek, Instagram-worthy aesthetic.
Place lavender sachets or cedar blocks inside cabinets for a refreshing scent.
5. Maintain a Clean & Organized Cabinet System
Don’t let clutter creep back in! Keep your cabinets organized year-round with these simple habits:
Quick weekly wipe-downs of high-touch areas.
Monthly decluttering sessions to remove unnecessary items.
One-in, one-out rule—for every new item, remove an old one!
