Cabinets are often the centerpieces of kitchens, and keeping them clean is essential to maintaining a beautiful space. However, cleaning cabinets can be challenging, especially if they’ve been recently refinished. Here are some tips for sparkling clean cabinets without damaging the finish.
What to do when your cabinets are newly refinished
Refinishing cabinets can bring a new level of elegance and style to your interior space. After the new finish has been applied, taking steps to ensure that you properly maintain it is essential for preserving its shine. Begin by avoiding harsh cleansers or abrasive materials when cleaning the surface with a soft cloth and mild soap. Additionally, be sure to regularly remove debris and dust with a vacuum, feather duster, or damp cloth. With proper maintenance techniques in place, you’ll be able to enjoy luxurious-looking cupboards for years!
Further preventive measures against scratching would be to apply self-adhesive felt padding to the inside of cabinets – this will help absorb shock and reduce the possibility of damage. Following these few simple steps, you can enjoy cabinets that look as beautiful as when they were refinished for years to come.
How to clean them without damaging the finish
Cleaning kitchen cabinets without ruining the delicate finish can be a daunting task. With the right approach, however, you can ensure that your furniture looks vibrant and lasts for years. The best method to clean kitchen cabinets involves using a soft cloth or sponge with a mixture of mild dish soap and warm water. Using circular motions, you should scrub off dirt or grime before wiping away residual moisture with a dry cloth or towel.
For deeper cleaning, vinegar and baking soda mixed together in equal parts help remove stubborn grease and grime and mold or mildew growth. Finally, remember to remove excess water and apply an additional sealant coat to protect your cabinets’ smooth surface finish.
Tips for keeping them looking their best
Taking care of cabinets should become integral to any weekly home cleaning routine. Remember to use mild cleaners to keep cabinets looking their best and to retain the finish. You can also use a “Magic Eraser” type sponge to remove heavily soiled areas. Avoiding harsh chemicals can ensure a lasting finish of paint or stain. Consider re-sealing your cabinets to elongate the finish. With these tips, your cabinets can stay in pristine condition for years to come!
Conclusion
Newly refinished cabinets are a beautiful, long-lasting investment in your home. With the proper care, they will stay looking shiny and new for years to come. How you clean them is important, as harsh chemicals can damage the finish. Regular dusting and wiping up spills as they happen will also help keep them from being damaged or stained.
