## Common Questions About Cleaning Kitchen Cabinets

### Can I use lemon juice instead of vinegar?

Lemon juice is acidic and can be used as a natural degreaser but may leave a citrus scent and can be slightly less potent.

### How often should I clean my cabinets?

Aim for a light cleaning weekly and a deep clean monthly or as needed.

### What if the grease stains are old and stubborn?

Repeat the baking soda paste and vinegar spray treatment or use a commercial degreaser as a last resort.

### Will this method damage my cabinets?

When done gently and with proper rinsing, it’s safe for most cabinet finishes.
