My cabinets are about 10 years old and have never had a good cleaning. (other than the normal spray cleaners) They are "run of the mill" white cabinets. Over the years they have "yellowed" What can I use to get them back to white? The "orange" products do not work. Vinegar and water cleans them but does not restore them to white.

Please post to the Paint Forum. Yellowing often occurs over time in some painted products--perhaps someone over there can help out....good luck

White laminate cabinets yellow due to sun exposure. Try scrubsoft with bleach and a nylon sponge scrub brush. If that doesn't work, you can dab on bleach water, leaving it for a few minutes and then rinsing it with a mild soapy water. Don't leave it on very long.
I'm with the consensus on bleaching cabinets. It's one of the very first tricks I learned working for a company that does refacing cabinets in Ohio and other areas. Just make sure the water you're using isn't scalding hot because it could strip certain areas of the wood.
Or if you have a little extra time, you could always sand over the damaged areas and apply some fresh oak finishing.

That is a problem with laminate cabinets. Bleaching can help if done properly, but the problem can re-appear.
