How to Do It
- Choose Your Oil:
- Vegetable oil (like canola or sunflower) is affordable and effective.
- Mineral oil is odorless and won’t go rancid.
- Coconut oil adds a light, pleasant scent (use fractionated if you prefer it liquid at room temperature).
- Apply Sparingly:
Pour just a few drops onto a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth or cotton rag. You want the cloth slightly damp—not oily. - Wipe Gently:
Work in small sections, wiping the cabinet surfaces in the direction of the wood grain (if applicable). The oil will loosen the grease, allowing it to lift away cleanly. - Buff to a Shine:
After wiping, use a second dry microfiber cloth to buff the surface until it’s smooth and residue-free. No rinsing needed!
