Cabinet Cleaning: Why Dawn and Water Works Better for Maintenance

Cabinet buildup is mostly grease and skin oils from hands.

For regular cleaning, we use Dawn and water because it removes grease instead of covering it up. It cleans without leaving shine that attracts dust.

Products like Murphy’s Oil Soap or cabinet polish aren’t bad — they’re just not meant for weekly use. They leave a conditioning layer that can slowly build up and trap grime.

Those products work best occasionally, not every visit.
