i can't find a base cabinet to fit the area for my kitchen sink. the area is 110cm and there are no cabinets that are 110cm. so i've started to think that maybe kitchen fitters use cabinets that are shorter for corner areas, since the worktop covers the rest of area in the corners. do fitters do this? cos it it seems to me that thats the only way it could possibly be done.

(my question may not make sense - sorry)

Cabinets are probably 20 yrs. old and seem to have never been cleaned! I'm using Murphy's Oil soap, but there is still "grime" near the handles. I'm afraid I will remove the finish on the doors and don't want another project! This house is 55 yrs old and has plenty of projects already
I have tried Murphy's Oil Soap. The icky grime is still not rubbing off. It must be years of accumulation. I did take the handles off (you don't want to know what those looked like). I don't want to remove the varnish or finish of the cabinets and have a major project on my hands. What is the name of a "degreaser" that you would recommend?
Thanks for the help!

We are updating our kitchen. The cabinets are not bad but we want to change the color decor. What type of paint is best to use on cabinets. My husband will be sanding and cleaning as prep but we are not sure of the paint type. Oil base is what we think is best. Thanks for your advice.

I am not talking about covering the outlet up. What I am suggesting is cutting a hole in the cabinets and pulling the outlet through with a electrical box extender, so the faceplate can go on top. So essentially when you open up the cabinet door there would be an electrical outlet hidden, that can still be of use.

Steven Diadoo of DiadooStudio.com applying blue paint over painted cabinets and wiping off to create distressed appearance. This technique was used to have greater control over the distressing process. Multiple coats were used until the final desired look was achieved.

My doors are soft maple and the cabinetry is solid wood, but not the maple used for the doors.

Any idea of the cost? Would it be cheaper to just paint the cabinets and replace the doors?

Thank you.
btw.....We would like to paint them white, if that matters at all.

I usually use 'Fantastic' and it doesn't work so well, so I tried 'degreaser' for autos and it melted the grease off in seconds, before I even had the chance to wipe it off. Is it going to damage the white cabinets? They look fine now.
I like the Kim Cream degreaser idea.

Have an inside look at the cabinet manufacturing process employed at the Home Improvement Source.

Also, the process of making solid wood doors in the on-site door shop is detailed to show the superior manufacturing proccesses used at the Home Improvement Source.

Does anyone on here have glossy cabinets in their home, and if so, what is the best way to clean them without ruining the surface at all? Is it best to just use a damp cloth and then wipe them down, or should I be using a polisher of some sort? I want to clean them up, but I'm unsure if it's okay to use a regular polish on this type of surface.

Thanks!
