So you’ve gone through with hiring a kitchen design service and the results have come out beautiful! While looking at all of the new and improved upgrades, your eyes catch the cabinets and how amazing they look. One of the main questions on people’s minds at this moment is: how do you keep them looking great for a long time? Luckily, we here at Andre Kitchen and Bath have come up with some solutions on how to lengthen the lifespan of your cabinets to make them look pristine for years to come.
General Tips for All Cabinets
When you look after your laminate or wood cabinets properly, they will most certainly last longer than expected. In general, you want to keep them away from excess heat, water or smoke whenever possible. When you expose your cabinets to these elements, you’re putting them at risk of staining or getting damaged. Some more tips include:
- Avoid slamming or leaning against them. Even though these cabinets may be durable, you want to prevent them from wearing out overtime. This means preventing them from having any scratches, cracks or dents by using them in a proper, non aggressive manner.
- Use a hood fan for when you cook. A hood fan will prevent any smoke from entering or leaking onto a cabinet. This means your cabinet is at less risk of both damage and discolouration.
- DO NOT use abrasive cleaning cloths, sponges or towels. We understand that sometimes, you want to give your cabinets a good clean. In order to keep your cabinets looking scratch free, however, we advise that you only use softer products to clean them.
Laminate Cabinets
Over the years, your cabinets undergo a lot of wear and tear. This is mainly due to the fact that you or your family members will touch them a number of times each day, opening and closing them hundreds of times. When you want to prevent them from wearing out too quickly, laminate cabinets work quite nicely.
These cabinets can be made with a bunch of different styles in mind, and are very low maintenance when it comes to upkeep. Simply dust when needed (usually once every two weeks at least), and continue with a damp cloth covered in laminate-safe cleaning product. If you worry about cleaning products damaging your cabinets, you can also use a damp cloth with gentle dish soap and water.
