Maintaining Your Painted Cabinets Like an Allforliz Pro

Discover Allforliz’s expert techniques for keeping your painted cabinets spotless. Learn daily care, deep cleaning, and long-term maintenance to extend the life of your cabinetry.

Daily Care Routine

Immediate Cleanup: Wipe spills and splatters immediately with a damp cloth to prevent staining.

Gentle Handling: Close doors and drawers gently to avoid stress on hinges and paint.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the paint finish.

Allforliz Weekly Cleaning Protocol

Dusting: Use a microfiber cloth to remove dust and cooking residue from all surfaces.

Hardware Care: Clean handles and knobs with appropriate cleaners to prevent buildup.

Interior Cleaning: Wipe down interior surfaces, especially in food storage areas.

Deep Cleaning Methods

Monthly Deep Clean: Use a mild soap solution (dish soap and warm water) with a soft cloth.

Degreasing: For cooking areas, use a gentle degreaser specifically designed for painted surfaces.

Drying: Always dry surfaces completely after cleaning to prevent water damage.

Protecting the Finish

Avoid Steam Damage: Use exhaust fans when cooking to reduce moisture exposure.

Temperature Control: Avoid placing hot items directly against cabinet surfaces.

UV Protection: Use window treatments to reduce direct sunlight exposure that can cause fading.

Hardware Maintenance

Hinge Lubrication: Apply appropriate lubricant to hinges annually.

Adjustment: Adjust doors and drawers as needed to prevent binding and stress.

Replacement: Replace worn hardware before it damages the cabinet finish.

Professional Maintenance

Schedule professional cabinet maintenance every 2-3 years. Professionals can assess the overall condition, perform detailed touch-ups, and recommend when refinishing might be beneficial.

Signs You Need Professional Help

Contact professionals when you notice extensive wear, multiple chips or scratches, changes in paint texture, or if cleaning no longer restores the original appearance.

At Allforliz, we recommend professional cabinet maintenance every 2–3 years to keep your surfaces in perfect shape.
