How to maintain your new cabinetry
As a homeowner, taking good care of your cabinetry goes a long way in ensuring the money you invested was a worthwhile spend. Cabinetry maintenance doesn’t need to be complex — you can make it a part of your regular cleaning routine.
Here are some maintenance tips to help ensure your cabinets continue to look as good as the day you bought them:
Utilize a gentle cleaning product (e.g., dishwasher soap) to clean the fronts and interior of your cabinets and drawers. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can cause scratching.
Use warm water when cleaning your cabinets, but don’t overdo it. Soaking your cabinets with too much water can cause damage.
After you clean your cabinets, always be sure to dry them thoroughly and immediately.
For cabinets that feature glass, be sure to utilize a glass cleaner to maintain a nice sparkle.
As is true with almost any home maintenance project, the key to protecting your custom cabinets is to stay on top of cleaning. When you let grime or food particles remain on your cabinets, they can lead to permanent staining and damage. As soon as you see any buildup, take the time to thoroughly clean your cabinets and drawers.
