1. A New Dawn
Wake up those dirty looking cabinets with Dawn cleaning solution. Make a simple solution of liquid soap and warm water. The soap will remove oils that otherwise get spread around.
Use a clean hand towel to scrub the solution on cabinets, making sure to follow the grain of the wood. Use a moist sponge to remove the soap and pat dry with a towel. Doesn’t it already look better?

Will this do anything to the varnish?
It will not 🙂
