How to Care for Your Brand New Kitchen Cabinets

You keep a lot of stuff in your kitchen, making it crucial to have sufficient storage. Your space will inevitably be cluttered when you don’t have a place for cooking and dining essentials. It will be easier to keep your kitchen tidy when you add new cabinets and update your existing ones.  

Beautiful and brand-new cabinets will boost your kitchen’s look and functionality. Keep your investment in top shape using these helpful tips from a trusted granite and cabinet dealer. 

Ensure Proper Ventilation

Cooking and running the dishwasher can generate heat and moisture. It’s why proper ventilation is necessary in kitchens. Eliminating excess humidity in your space can help prolong the life of your cabinets. Increased humidity can cause them to swell, expand, crack and split. Wood is especially prone to these issues. If possible, open windows and run exhaust fans when cooking. 

Use Appropriate Cleaning Products

Like granite countertops, kitchen cabinets require regular cleaning and maintenance. They will go a long way in preserving the beauty of your new cabinets. However, always be careful with the tools and cleaning products you use. Harsh products can cause stains and discoloration. Look for a cleaner specifically made for the material of your cabinets. 

Place Appliances Away From the Cabinets

Where are your appliances placed? They should not be anywhere near your new cabinets to avoid steam damage. If there is anywhere else to keep them, consider investing in heat shields to divert the steam they create.
