Regular cleaning not only maintains the appearance of your doors but also prevents long-term damage.

Mindful Kitchen Doors Handling

Be mindful of how you handle your kitchen doors. Avoid slamming them shut, as this can cause premature wear and tear.

Controlled Moisture Levels

Excessive moisture can be detrimental to the lifespan of your kitchen doors. Ensure proper ventilation in your kitchen to prevent humidity build-up.

Additionally, wipe away any spills promptly to prevent water damage. This is particularly important in kitchens where steam and moisture levels can be high.

Protect Against Sunlight

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading and damage to your replacement doors. Consider using curtains or blinds to protect your kitchen doors from harsh sunlight. This simple measure can go a long way in preserving the colour and finish of your doors.

Regular Inspections

Schedule regular inspections of your replacement kitchen doors. Look for signs of wear, loose hinges, or any other issues that may need attention. Identifying and addressing problems early on can prevent further damage and help maintain the doors' structural integrity.
