Plastics do not absorb stains so it has to be wiped off. First of all mix the detergent with water in a bucket. Take a soft cloth dip it in the detergent mixed water and remove the dust particles from the plastic surface. For cleaning cupboards and countertops always start from the top and then gradually come down.
Now spray kitchen cleaner on it. Use sponge to rub it. Rub gently over the surface and a bit harder on the stain but it should not be very hard because it can cause scratches on the plastic. Nylon brushes should be used instead of sponge for textured surface. Use it in a circular motion.
Wipe off with cloth that is moistened with clean water after that dry the surface with the soft paper towel to keep the surface shinning.
If plastics have glassy surface then spray a mild glass cleaner and wipe it off with soft cloth. This will remove any of the scratch left by the cleaning solution.
