Looking Fresh And Clean
With Spring knocking on our doorstep, it’s definitely time to consider what spring-cleaning tasks you will be tackling. What better place to begin than in your kitchen and what better area to focus on than your cabinets? Spending a lot of time at home, especially with your family, high traffic areas often need a lot more attention when it comes to cleaning. Certain areas, like cabinet doors and drawers often have a higher buildup of dirt and grease. Now that spring is here, you may notice it even more…with more time spent outdoors, coming and going and all the fun activities that come with the changing season, you will notice those shiny surfaces are starting to show how much they really get used.
According to N-Hance’s own Bridgette Ballard, “Your cabinets are the most visual part of your kitchen. When they appear dingy, they can make your entire kitchen look old and worn out.” So, it makes sense you would want to keep them clean and looking fresh.
With all our experience and expertise, we’ve put together some quick and easy tips you can use to keep your cabinets looking nice.
Basic Cabinet Care and Cleaning
- For regular dusting and stain removal, use a damp microfiber cloth and lightly wipe your cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Try to avoid spraying over the counter cleaners directly onto your cabinet surfaces. Your cleaners will last longer if you apply them to a rag and then wipe. This will also reduce overspray and dripping.
- When cleaning your cabinet hardware, it’s a good idea to remove them from cabinet doors and drawers in order to protect wood surfaces from harsh cleaners. An easy solution to cleaning those drawer pulls, handles, etc. can be to use he upper rack in your dishwasher.
- For harder to remove staining and heavy buildup on the cabinet surfaces, use N-Hance’s proprietary natural cleaner to make this task nearly effortless. It’s a simple and effective spray and wipe solution that will make your cabinet finish last for years to come. If you need some more, just let us know…We always have plenty on hand.

It’s best to avoid laying wet towels over your cabinet doors since this can trap moisture and will eventually penetrate through the finish. In order to avoid damage, flaking or peeling, consider using a towel rack to dry those kitchen hand towels.
