Painted wood comes in many forms, whether it’s a cabinet, baseboard, or other household object. While these items don’t require a lot of maintenance, it’s important to give these surfaces a proper cleaning once every few months. When cleaning these surfaces, create a soapy mixture with dish soap and warm water, then wipe down the painted wood surface. If you’d prefer a cleaning alternative, feel free to use vinegar or ammonia instead. With a little bit of TLC, your painted wood fixtures will be squeaky clean in no time!
