Cleaning your kitchen cabinets properly to make them long-lasting
Maintenance is a key element of making your possessions long-lasting.
No matter if we are talking about a vehicle, a musical instrument, an electronic device, or in this case, your kitchen furniture, caring is a mandatory step, if you wish to conserve its condition.
Especially after a kitchen remodel, and your cabinets look just like you dreamt them – of course you would like them to last long, don’t you?
The best way to ensure the long life of your reborn cabinets is to treat them with maximum care and caution, not to cause any unwanted damage in the near future.
Although physical damages are one thing, but did you know that you can also harm your cabinets by neglecting them or not using the right cleaning supplies?
We’ll give you some tips that are really useful!
Everyday use will leave its marks
If your kitchen is regularly used, then you have to be prepared for stains, splatters and even minor damages caused by accidents.
Your kitchen is somewhat of a chemical lab, where water is boiled, oil is heated and reactions happen, steam and mild smoke is absolutely usual.
And all of this combined with household dust will form a greasy, matte layer on your cabinets, especially on the horizontal surfaces.
If you’re not careful enough, and you don’t clean them often, it will thicken, and as time passes, it’ll be harder and harder to remove.
Laminated doors and cabinets have the huge advantage of the thin layer of plastic on them (compared to the painted or natural wood pieces), and are easier to keep clean.
But this is the point where you have to be very careful!
Stay alert with chemicals!
Although most cleaners are made to be skin-friendly, this is the price of their limited potential.
There are stains that are much harder to remove with these products, but sometimes patience and work are more rewarding than changing to something stronger.
Some chemicals can be harmful to the cabinets if they are too acidic or contain alkaline, these can damage the lamination of the surface.
In this case, there is no way to professionally restore the plastic layer, so always check the containers of the cleaners you use!
Scouring can also cause damage, don’t be too harsh when you’re cleaning your precious remodeled cabinets!
Never use a metal scourer, only a household sponge if you want to protect the surface’s integrity!
