Kitchen cabinets are used more often than dishwashers and stoves. And because they take up a large space, they are more exposed to elements that can help degrade their quality. Unfortunately, kitchen cabinets are less maintained compared to stoves and dishwashers. During cleaning, they are often left unattended. This should not be the practice. Keeping kitchen cabinets looking their best requires regular cleaning and mopping. Wiping a clean cloth can help keep your closet doors looking original for a long time. The door knobs should also be cleaned.

There are specific cleaning aids designed for wooden kitchen cabinets. Avoid using abrasive and caustic cleaners. Aluminum cabinets can be cleaned with warm water and common detergent.

Those you cannot see are often more damaging. This is also true with kitchen cabinets. In general, it is common to leave the top of the cabinets intact, leaving the most important part of the kitchen cabinets to be cleaned dirty. Avoid this by making sure to start cleaning from the top before cleaning the visible surface.

Basic kitchen cabinet maintenance

Moisture, dust, and crawling critters can penetrate your cabinets at any time if the drawers and doors are not properly closed. Make sure all doors and drawers are completely closed to keep what’s inside. Doors or drawers that do not close completely should be repaired.

Repainting kitchen cabinets

If the cabinets need to be repainted, choose between latex and oil. Both offer several benefits, but oil-based paint is preferred by most professional painters as it provides a smoother, more durable surface. Latex-based paint, on the other hand, can be cleaned easily and quickly.

Repainting kitchen cabinets is the most cost-effective way to give your kitchen area a new look. But if the task takes more than that, then you have to choose between re-coating and replacing your kitchen cabinets.
