Easy Cabinet Cleaning & Maintenance Tips Every Homeowner Should Know
- ✔ Wipe cabinets regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap to remove dust, grease and everyday fingerprints. Using a microfiber cloth with gentle soap and warm water keeps the finish looking clean and prevents scratches.
- ✔ Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish over time. Strong solutions like bleach, ammonia or scouring pads can strip away protective coatings, so always use cabinet-safe products to protect wood or laminate surfaces.
- ✔ Immediately clean spills to prevent staining and long-term damage. Water, oil or food splashes can seep into the surface and cause warping or discoloration if not wiped quickly, especially in kitchens and bathrooms.
- ✔ Use gentle polish occasionally to maintain shine and enhance the cabinet’s appearance. A non-silicone, wood-safe polish applied every few months helps restore luster, adds a protective layer and keeps cabinets looking new.
- ✔ Check hardware such as hinges, knobs and pulls regularly and tighten them if needed. Daily use can loosen screws and affect smooth functioning, so periodic inspection ensures cabinet doors and drawers stay aligned and stylish.
