Your freshly painted cabinets look amazing—but how do you keep them looking brand new? Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your cabinet finish. Follow these expert tips to ensure lasting beauty.
1. Clean Cabinets Regularly
Use a soft cloth and mild soap to wipe down your cabinets weekly. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the paint.
2. Handle Spills Immediately
Water, grease, and food splatters can harm the finish. Wipe spills immediately with a damp cloth to prevent staining.
3. Use Gentle Cleaning Products
Stick to pH-neutral cleaners or a mix of vinegar and water for deep cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the paint.
4. Protect High-Touch Areas
Install cabinet handles or knobs to prevent oils from your hands wearing down the paint over time.
5. Avoid Excess Moisture & Heat
Too much humidity or heat from appliances can cause paint to peel. Use a range hood when cooking and wipe cabinets dry after cleaning.
6. Touch Up When Needed
If you notice small chips or scratches, touch them up with matching paint to keep cabinets looking flawless.
