You already knew that refacing a kitchen cabinet remodel is a time-saving and cost-effective solution, but now you can see the results in person. Wow! Your kitchen is beautifully transformed beyond expectations. So, how do you keep those stunning cabinets looking showroom-worthy at all times? Let's have a look!
How do you maintain your kitchen cabinets
Product quality and longevity both play an important role in helping you to get the most bang for your buck once your kitchen remodel is complete. And maintaining the original beauty of your new kitchen cabinets is a lot a lot easier when you start from the moment they are installed. Frequent care and maintenance of your cabinets will also maintain the value added to your home after remodeling.
Over time, the regular use of your kitchen will create a dull, sticky film that can cause surface deterioration of even the best made cabinetry. That's because the typical kitchen is a chemistry lab of sorts - where the preparation and cooking of food combines with heat and dust. The experts at Kitchen Magic have gathered a few basic tips regarding the care and maintenance of refaced kitchen cabinets in order to ensure their longevity!
Laminate cabinet door care
If you choose high-end laminate cabinet doors, it's for a good reason! They are sleek, beautiful and offer low maintenance care. Simply dust frequently, at least every two weeks, and follow up with a soft damp cloth sprayed with a laminate-approved cleaning agent. Simply soft cloth, dipped into a diluted mixture of gentle dish soap and water and wrung out will do the trick. Follow with a quick, damp cloth rinsed with plain water and buff dry with a soft, dry cloth. Voila! It's that easy.

Effective tips for cabinet doors of all types
Treat your refaced laminate or wood cabinets well, and they'll return the favor. Try to avoid any extreme heat, excess water, and cooking smoke in your kitchen whenever possible. Exposure to any of these may discolor or even damage refaced and natural surfaces.
- Although durable, laminate cabinet doors can be damaged by harsh or incorrect usage. Avoid scratches, cracks, and indents with cabinet-friendly only practices. Avoid kicking, slamming or leaning on or against cabinet doors.
- Be sure to use a hood fan every time you use your stove for cooking. A powerful fan is the best way to pull out any smoke, gasses, cooking substances and excess heat that may be released into the air.
- Never use an abrasive cleaning pad or any sharp objects, as doing so can cause scratches or deep nicks.
- Never use harsh chemicals, such as acetone, ammonia, bleach, abrasive powder, or gel cleaners.
- Additionally, if you use candles for entertaining or during a power outage, be sure to keep any lit candles away from your cabinetry.
Generally, bi-monthly care with the correct products is the best insurance to preserve and maintain your new cabinetry for years to come.
