How to take care of your kitchen cabinets
Your kitchen cabinets make for the most important attraction of your kitchen and having them maintained beautifully, whatever their make or material may be, is as important as buying them in the first place. There are several ways in which you can do this.
At least once each month, use a sponge soaked in mild detergent mixed with warm water to gently clean your cabinets. Afterwards, wipe with a dry, soft cloth. When it is resistant grease you want to get rid of, make a half and half mix of ammonia and warm water. Soak a sponge in it, wring it well, and scrub on the greasy areas. Avoid abrasive detergents. Wipe away with a soft material dry cloth. Semi-annually, remove the cabinet, individually, sponge them with warm water and mild detergent, following up with wiping it dry. Keep an open container of baking powder to keep the cabinets smelling fresh – replacing them in a month or two. Oil the hinges with vegetable oil, avoiding liquids containing petroleum.
Don’t keep hot steaming pots of coffee or tea under the counter in a cabinet as it will lead to warping.
