Very tough. U can try tooth paste. I know it restore the yellow switch back to white not sure on cupboard.

 

toothpaste ah.. hmmm.. i din try that though..

maybe just give it a shot..

 

some told me to use boiling vinegar to remove..

 

Bioling Vinegar good for metal. Wood ok but after that you need to repaint the wood protective paint. For hard plastic is OK. Not sure on Cabinet. It is the soft plastic outer shell type?

[Freestylers09]

Are the cabinets exposed constantly to sunlight? Should be right?

[Picantorian]

i tried using Degreaser.. but it din help..

will the Autoglym restore the whiteness?

 

i think worst to worst, is to change all the cabinets..

[Picantorian]

the kitchen at my place is not really exposed to sunlight lei.. maybe very minimal.

if that is the case, then how is it, my table top does not change colour and still as white?

sorry to tell u that...i dun think there is ...my previous one had smell and i had hard time removing some of the stains...in the end changed the whole cabinet. my new one is white

[Mivec9]

Use JIF lor... If cannot then you either live with it or change...

 

I assume the cabinets are quite old?

 

tried.. it does not work..

the cabinets are only 5years old..

 

 

the cabinets i took over also 5 years....frankly if u can live with it...i think still ok..if not, ask renovator change the cover..hee

[Typhoonz]

Huh? Strange leh... You cook a lot?

You can get a carpenter to change the "skin" of the cabinet. Its not a cheap thing to do, but if the cabinet structure is still good..... why not???? Give it a fresh new look.

 

Most of the cabinets are made of ply wood and the is laminated with wood veneer.

simple. thermal decomposition of surface due to radiant heat fr the stove or endothermic reaction of the structure which absorb heat in the day and release it when the heat source (sun) has receded.

 

another possibility is the chemical reaction to the adhesive which affect the base composition of the laminate.

Errrm.....well if the next best option is to change the cabinet - then no harm / no loss trying....

 

Can use Autoglym on car too.....

 

Not tried on any cabinet but i used AG SRP on a yellowed three-pin multi-plug adapter and brought it back to its orginal whiteness....

mine no smell.. feels clean.. just that the colour is irritating me..

change to white again.. then later same thing will happen right..

[Picantorian]

got cook everyday lor..

[Picantorian]

i did suggest that.. but because my cabinets is not of a flat surface, he said it cannot be done.

only machine can achieve thar kind of design and is old technology..

 

he suggested that i change it instead..

[Typhoonz]

Maybe it's due to the grease and smoke?

[Picantorian]

chimology..
