pro tips Keep your kitchen cabinets in great condition for years.
Prevent water damage.
Plumbing, ventilation issues, or water from your kitchen counter can result in water damage.
Bottom cabinets: Try vinyl floor tiles. There are adhesive and easy to cut and fit to your cabinets.
Upper cabinets: Consider moisture-absorbing shelf liners.
Protect from heat and steam.
Keep appliances which produce high heat and steam away from cabinets as much as possible.
This includes items like indoor grills, high-heat slow cookers, instant pots, and bathroom wall-mounted heaters.
Alternatively, use a heat shield.
Ventilate.
Run the kitchen exhaust fan during cooking.
Bathroom cabinets: Turn on your vent fan before you shower and let it continue to run for at least 15 minutes afterward.
Protect from direct sunlight.
Over time, exposure to UV rays can cause discoloration and fading.
If your cabinets are in sunny location, consider installing sunlight-blocking drapery or blinds.
Use caution with self-cleaning ovens.
If possible, when you utilize the self-clean feature, pull the oven outward 8 inches before running the cycle.
Be gentle.
Wipe cabinetry with a soft, clean microfiber cloth, either dry or lightly moistened.
Avoid abrasive cleaning products and any type of wax.
NEVER USE FANTASTIK. Over time it can yellow white cabinets and make the vinyl surface brittle in thermofoil cabinets.
