With kids in the home, it’s important to find that balance between allowing them to learn and explore freely while also protecting them from potential hazards—and also keeping particularly vulnerable finishes from getting damaged.

Here are a few simple ideas to consider when it comes to helping your cabinets resist and avoid damage and stains, while also still allowing your kids to be kids. 

Protecting Cabinets With Kids In The Home

  • You may not think this applies to cabinets, but get in the habit of removing shoes at the door. Skids, scuff marks, and dents from shoes are actually one of the most common sources of damage to lower cabinets. 
  • If and when stains or splatters do occur, be sure to wipe them up quickly. This can help prevent caked or dried on stains from damaging the cabinet finish. 
  • Keep moisture off of your cabinets if possible. Wipe down cabinets that get exposed to steam, splashes, or wet hands. This helps prevent warping and fading. 
  • If furniture comes in contact with your cabinets, like the feet of bar stools, place a protective barrier like a pad or cushion between them and your cabinets. 
  • Wipe down cabinets at least on a weekly basis, if not more frequently. Dust, grease, grime, and other particles can dull and wear down your cabinet finish, so this is a key way to help make sure your cabinets last. 
  • If utilizing child locks on your kitchen cabinets, choose one of the many options that’s installed inside your cabinet doors. Outside locks can scratch, ding, and dent your cabinets.
