- 1). Pull the drawer out until you meet resistance.
- 2). Detach the ball-bearing track attached to the drawer from the track attached to the cabinet wall. The detachment method varies widely by manufacturer. Some feature a tab on the drawer track that you can depress to release the track. Consult the manufacturer instructions for details. If you do not have the instructions, examine the track. Any release tab or button will be plastic or metal and located along the track itself or on the top of the very back of the drawer. If you don't see a tab, try lifting the front of the drawer up, then pulling the drawer out and up. Otherwise, try sliding the drawer halfway back into the cabinet, then lifting up on the front. Try combinations of these methods if all else fails.
- 3). Sweep the debris out of the drawer with a rag.
- 4). Moisten a rag with a pH-neutral household cleaner.
- 5). Wipe down both sides of the track. To clean behind the tracks, remove the screws that attach them to the cabinet or the drawer. Wipe the backs of the tracks and the sides of the cabinet or drawer. Then replace the tracks.
- 6). Slide the drawer back in carefully, making sure that the drawer and cabinet tracks are aligned. The release tab will pop back into place automatically.
