Remove Yellow Cooking Odor Stain from White Kitchen Cabinet Doors

A how-to for removing those pesky yellow stains from cabinets and other surfaces. This method also works for removing mild rust stains from kitchen surfaces.

Steps

  1. Clean the surface normally to remove the dirt/grease etc from the surface.
  2. Rub the damp cloth over the surface then rub with dry cloth to dry the surface.
  3. Put some bicarb of soda into the bowl and add a little lemon juice - it will start fizzing.
  4. Dab the mixture on to the surface and start rubbing - you need a little elbow grease for this!!
  5. Keep rubbing until the stain lessens or disappears.
  6. Wipe mixture off and wipe the surface down.
  7. If the stain remains rub a whitening toothpaste on to the stain and leave for 5 minutes before rubbing well. Wipe off with a damp cloth.
  8. If the stain is very stubborn you may need to dilute some bleach and rub it on to the affected area. Make sure to wash this off thoroughly.

Tips

  • Try a little in a small area first to avoid damaging the surface even more.
  • Clean surfaces regularly to avoid staining.
  • Spray a little furniture polish on clean surfaces to help keep them clean in future. This may spoil some surfaces, so check on a hidden area first.

Warnings

  • Stop using immediately if anything is damaging your surfaces.
  • Bleach is a strong chemical. Handle with care.
