Caring for your home’s kitchen cabinets shouldn’t be a chore you dread. By properly caring for these items in your Denver home, you will not only keep them looking incredible but you will also increase their lifespan. However, caring for your kitchen cabinets is much more than simply wiping them down. Here are three things you should do often to keep your kitchen cabinets in excellent condition. 

1. Repair Nicks or Scratches

Accidents happen. Your cabinets will experience a lot of daily wear and tear. It is important that you stay on top of these minor damages by making repairs promptly. If knicks and scratches occur, fix them as soon as possible. Also, visit with professionals about the proper care and maintenance for your specific cabinets. For example, some products may come with small touch-up kits that will make these repairs a fast and simple process. 

2. Line Shelves and Drawers

Your drawers and shelves can accumulate a substantial amount of dirt and grime. By lining these areas with protective materials, you protect your cabinets, regardless of what you choose to store. There are also many types of liners you can choose from such as adhesives, rubber, cork, or felt.

3. Be Cautious of Moisture

Excessive moisture can cause damage to your cabinets. For example, you do not want to lay wet towels over cabinet doors or release substantial amounts of steam from coffee makers, pressure cookers, etc., under cabinets. If you notice your cabinets are wet or have water droplets, which cabinetry near dishwashers or sinks is particularly susceptible, wipe them off immediately.
