Step 2 · Clean Cabinet Surfaces

Wipe down all surfaces to be painted using a degreaser or a solution of TSP (trisodium phosphate) substitute and water. Pay special attention to areas around the stove and sink, as these tend to accumulate the most grease. Rinse the surfaces thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue from the cleaner. Allow the cabinets to dry completely before proceeding. A clean surface is essential for proper paint adhesion.
