All About Kitchen Cabinets, Part II
Regular Maintenance and Care
Regular wiping of exterior doors, cabinet boxes, drawers, handles and knobs with a non-caustic, cleaner or a dry non-abrasive, cloth (particularly for wooden cabinets) is advisable. The same may be used for steel or aluminum-styled cabinets, in which case, a mild detergent and warm water may be used.
Use a stool or step ladder to ensure that the tops of your cabinets are also wiped thoroughly, as this area is often neglected, being slightly out of reach. For all glass areas, use a good-quality glass cleaner.
Keep Pests, Moisture and Dust Out
As in any kitchen, crawling insects and other pests, as well as moisture and dust can enter your cabinets if the doors or drawers do not shut completely. Make sure to check door hinges, or inner drawer tracks and slides, and repair them if the cabinet cannot be shut properly.
Taking a little extra care and a few minutes now and then to keep your cabinets in good shape will serve you will in the long run. Kitchen cabinets take a lot of abuse and yet they are a very important part of everyone’s kitchen.
