• Open the cabinet, depose of any items left in the cabinet. Starting with the top shelf of the cabinet, clean the cabinet shelves and walls from top to bottom, using a degreaser cleaner, warm soapy water and a clean towel.
• While the cabinet door is open, clean around the cabinet’s frame, hinges (all sides), and the inside of the cabinet door.
• Close the door then clean the outside of the cabinet door and knobs or handles.
• If the cabinet is not connected to the ceiling, clean top exterior of the cabinet.
• Clean underneath the cabinet.
• Repeat these steps, until all the upper cabinets are cleaned.

Lower Cabinets and Drawers (interior and exterior):

• Dispose of any items from cabinets and drawers before cleaning.

Lower Cabinet Drawers:

• Pull lower cabinet drawer completely out and take them to your wash station.
• Turn the drawer on its side, wiping out any dirt particles with a damp cloth.
• Use a putty knife or a non-scratch pad to remove any stubborn or hard to remove dirt, then proceed with cleaning inside of the drawer.
• Using a degreaser, clean the tracks and edges removing any dirt or grime.
• Wipe off the drawer frame to the cabinet.
• Place the drawer back into the cabinet and clean the front of the drawer and its knobs or handles.
• Proceed to cleaning the cabinet underneath the drawer.

Lower Cabinets:

• Open the lower cabinet, starting with the top shelf of the cabinet, clean the cabinet shelves and walls from top to bottom, using a degreaser cleaner, warm soapy water and a clean towel.
• While the cabinet door is open, clean around the cabinet’s frame, hinges (all sides), and the inside of the cabinet’s door.
• Close the door then clean the outside of the cabinet door and knobs or handles.
