How do I clean my IKEA kitchen cabinets?
To keep your kitchen cabinets looking good for as long as possible, we recommend cleaning them with a slightly damp cloth along with a mild detergent to remove dirt and fingerprints. After cleaning, it is a good idea to wipe the doors with a dry microfiber cloth, this helps to avoid stains and protects the material by preventing moisture from penetrating the surface.
Below are some simple and gentle tips to help you keep your surface nice and fresh for longer.
- Use mild products: Avoid harsh chemicals and cleaners with ammonia or abrasives, as they can damage the surface or leave marks.
- Soft cloths: Microfiber is best – it cleans effectively without scratching.
- Wipe away moisture immediately: Water that remains in place, especially along edges and joints, can affect the material over time.
- Clean stains gently: Leave the mild detergent on for a short time and then wipe off slowly – don't rub too hard.
- Clean regularly: It's more effective to do small, quick cleans regularly than to have to scrub at longer intervals.
