Kitchen Cabinets – Cleaning Tips
Kitchen cabinets occupy a large part of the kitchen and are exposed to elements that degrade their quality and finish. Everyday maintenance of the cabinets can easily be done by the owner but heavy work and re-furnishing needs professional help. A habitual cleaning and maintenance of the kitchen cabinets can help to prolong their life.
Regular wiping and cleaning will keep kitchen cabinets in good shape between thorough cleanings. The doors, knobs, and shelves should also be cleaned with a damp cloth.
For wooden kitchen cabinets, there are specific cleaning agents available on the market. Use of abrasive materials and caustic agents should be avoided. If the cabinets appear dull or lose their glazed look after cleaning, it will be good to apply a wood wax coating for added luster. Aluminum or stainless steel kitchen cabinets are usually cleaned using an ordinary detergent and warm water.
To clean the cabinet hardware, the knobs and pulls have to be first unscrewed from the doors and drawers. Plastic hardware should be washed with soap and water. Metal hardware can be polished using metal polish. Wooden knobs should be taken care of using oil soap.
