Essential Tips to Maintain Your Kitchen Cabinets
Published on March 18, 2023
Custom cabinets are an investment—and like any investment, they deserve proper care. Follow these tips to keep your cabinetry looking great for years.
1. Clean Regularly (But Gently)
Use a mild dish soap and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads that can damage finishes.
2. Prevent Moisture Damage
Don't let water or spills sit. Wipe up messes quickly, especially around the sink and dishwasher.
3. Mind the Hardware
Loose handles or soft-close hinges can affect performance. Tighten and lubricate hardware as needed.
4. Avoid Harsh Sunlight
Direct sunlight can fade wood over time. Consider curtains or UV window film if your cabinets get a lot of exposure.
