How to Clean and Maintain High-Gloss Kitchen Cabinets

High-gloss cabinets look stunning – but they need the right care to stay that way. Here is how to keep them looking new.

Daily Cleaning

Wipe with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Do not use abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals. A drop of mild dish soap in warm water is all you need.

What to Avoid

Avoid ammonia-based cleaners, bleach, and scouring pads. These will dull the gloss finish over time. Also avoid leaving water sitting on the surface – wipe dry after cleaning.

Fingerprint Prevention

High-gloss shows fingerprints. Use a specialist glass cleaner for a streak-free finish. Consider matte or textured finishes for busy kitchens with young children.

Long-Term Care

Check hinges and adjustments annually. Tighten any loose handles. If the gloss starts to dull, a specialist polish can restore it. At MGP, we recommend a professional clean and service every 2 years for high-gloss kitchens.
