Wood is a timeless material that lends a warm feeling to the home and provides a unique cosy tone.
When you have it in the kitchen, however, it is very easy for furniture surfaces to become sticky due to the accumulation of residues and grease.
Fortunately, there are fantastic, natural remedies not only for cleaning sticky wood, but also for polishing it from top to bottom. Let’s discover together all the tricks you can use and get a flawless kitchen!
Marseille soap
Topping the list of remedies you can use for your wood is Marseille soap. With its degreasing and cleaning properties, it proves to be an invaluable ally in cleaning sticky wood.
In fact, it will be great for removing even the most stubborn encrustation that most affects the area underneath the furniture, with all the splashes and vapours from the kitchen.
Mix a diluted solution of Marseille soap in lukewarm water and use a soft cloth to wipe the affected surfaces. Rub until all the dirt is gone and rinse thoroughly.
Baking soda
Baking soda is a mild abrasive and a powerful cleaning agent, so you won’t be able to do without it when cleaning kitchen wood.
In this case, you will need to create a thick paste with 2 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda and water until it has the consistency of a gel.
Apply it to a soft sponge, wipe over the furniture and leave it for a few minutes before wiping with a damp cloth. This step will effectively remove sticky build-up without damaging the wood finish.
Finally, rinse and that’s it!
Apple vinegar
Apple vinegar is known for its polishing and degreasing properties. It will be of great help to revive your wood if it is particularly dull.

Mix equal parts of water and apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle and spray it on the sticky surface of the wood; leave it on for a few minutes, then gently wipe it off with a cloth moistened with water and clean the wood.
It won’t take long before the apple vinegar dissolves the sticky residue and gives the wood a natural freshness!
This remedy can also be ideal for cleaning wood every day to maintain its lustre over time.
Lemon juice
Lemon juice not only adds a fresh note to kitchen wood, it is also an effective natural degreaser.
The most famous citrus fruit in the world, together with the vinegar we have just seen, is one of the most popular and appreciated solutions to get rid of sticky stains that usually occur in the kitchen.
