No, black cabinets are no more difficult to clean than any other color of cabinetry. However, they might show dust and fingerprints more obviously than, for example, white or grey cabinets. This could be both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on who you are. If you are a very neat and tidy person, this might be a bonus for you. When you clean your cabinets, you’ll know that there is no dust hiding somewhere that you just can’t see. If you are a busy mom of 5 young kiddos, this might be a negative for you. However, because most black cabinets will be slick and smooth to the touch, whether it be paint, veneer, or resin, you can be sure that a quick wipe with a damp microfiber towel will do the trick, making them very simple and easy to clean.
