Maintaining Your Kitchen Cabinets

No matter how careful you are, kitchen cabinets are going to get dirty over time. Dust, grease, and food particles will accumulate, making them less attractive and potentially harmful to your health. In order to keep your cabinets looking their best and protect your family from harmful contaminants, follow these tips for proper care and maintenance:

 

1. Clean your cabinets regularly using a mild detergent and water. Be sure to dry them thoroughly afterward, as moisture can cause wood cabinets to warp or rot.

Cleaning your cabinets well with mild detergent can ensure that the massive investment you made in your kitchen cabinets lasts.

 

 

2. Apply a coat of sealant or varnish every few years to protect the wood from moisture and fading. This will also help keep them looking new for longer.

Though wood cabinets don't show wear and tear as quickly as painted, it is still important to make sure they are maintained well.

 

 

3. Keep cabinet doors and drawers closed as much as possible in order to prevent dust from accumulating on the surfaces. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth should take care of any dust that does accumulate.

Good care for kitchen cabinets means making sure they stay clean and dry.

 

 

4. If your cabinets are glass-fronted, be sure to clean the glass regularly as well. A good way to do this is to use a vinegar and water solution, which will help remove any fingerprints or smudges.

Glass front kitchen cabinets are an amazing addition to any kitchen in order to make the whole room feel lighter and brighter.

 

 

5. Inspect your cabinets regularly for any signs of damage, such as cracks, chips, or water damage. If you notice any damage, have it repaired as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration. We are always happy to recommend some great local contractors who can handle any repair job. Feel free to give us a call anytime for recommendations.
