The back of the bottle gives a quick history, explaining how a furniture maker and a polish maker joined forces to start the company in 1879. This gave me even more hope \u2014 Pledge<\/a>, one of my favorite kitchen cabinet cleaning products, is also from a company known for wood care. My cabinets are unpainted wood, and I appreciate products that effortlessly highlight their natural grain and glow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The directions were simple enough. Shake the bottle well, apply a little polish onto a damp cloth, and start rubbing it into the cabinets. I started with the cabinet underneath the stovetop, where it\u2019s not just grease that\u2019s troublesome, but drips and drops from up above. The creamy formula handled the mess without issue. I did have to add a bit more product to some of the more stubborn food spots, but that was expected \u2014 and it handled the grease without issue. While technically a one-step process, I did opt to buff the cabinets afterwards with a clean, dry cloth as suggested, and my cabinets really did glow!\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Next, I moved onto the cabinet over the oven. The vent on the unit leaves quite a bit of residue on the backside of the door that is a pain to keep up on. With very little elbow grease, Parker & Bailey Kitchen Cabinet Cream<\/a> cut through the caked-on gunk immediately \u2014 I was actually shocked how quickly this cleaned up what is generally a sticky mess that I have to really rub at.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n What\u2019s more? There\u2019s no chemical smell or any strong fragrance. There\u2019s a very light spice scent if you really take a good whiff, but you have to be really intentional about it. I did not detect any \u201ccleaning\u201d smell in my kitchen after cleaning my cabinets. (Up to you if that\u2019s a pro or a con!).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Good Housekeeping\u2019s winning cabinet cream delivers on exactly what it promises: It cuts through grease very well, and provides a beautiful finish to wooden cabinets. The only real downside to this product is the cost. At about $10 for 8 ounces, it\u2019s not the greatest value buy when you compare it with other products \u2014 especially sprays that pack a bigger bang for your buck. I have quite a few cabinets, and I don\u2019t see this bottle getting me through more than two full scrub-downs. With that said, I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to repurchase, as the glow truly brings a light to my kitchen (and my face!) I didn\u2019t know I needed.\u00a0<\/p>\n Buy: Parker & Bailey Kitchen Cabinet Cream<\/a>, $9.61<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
