Keeping the Space Over Cupboards Clean

Cleaning the space over the cupboards where dust and grime accumulate can be some job to do. If you line the area with wax paper or paper towels, it makes the cleaning easier. I have done this for the last ten years and I have very little washing to do when I do my spring and fall cleaning. Try it, it's worth the trouble.

Good idea Raymonde but I use left over rolls of wallpaper to put on top of bedroom wardrobes etc. Downstairs in the kitchen I use aluminium foil as there is less danger of it catching fire.

I hate the dust in the nooks and cranny's on top of my cabinets too. But, I do like to display some items up there, instead of having it bare.

My solution was to buy foamcore board at the craft store. I bought it on sale for .99 cents each. The boards were about 2' x 3' in size.

My husband measured each cabinet top, and we cut the foamcore boards to size, snuggly fitting them in each cabinet frame.

It makes a nice, flat surface to display your decorations. And, it's easy to wipe down too.

When I have used Fablon I save the backing paper for lining shelves and cupboard tops. It works well and it's FREE.

Those or fabric would do, and fabric wouldn't blow around if someone slammed a door.
