Keep your powder coated cabinets looking pristine with proper maintenance. Simple care routines ensure decades of durability and professional appearance.
Simple maintenance routines that keep your cabinets looking showroom-fresh
Warm water with mild dish soap and a microfiber cloth
Wipe surfaces clean, then dry immediately with a clean cloth
The dense, smooth coating resists dirt adhesion and cleans easily
Abrasive scrubbing pads or steel wool
Bleach or ammonia-based cleaners (though our coating can handle them, gentler options work just as well)
Letting water sit on surfaces for extended periods
Monthly deep cleans and tough stain solutions for garage environments
Remove all items from cabinets
Clean interior surfaces with mild soap solution
Wipe down door edges and frames
Check and clean hardware (hinges, handles)
Lubricate moving parts if needed
Thanks to our superior chemical resistance, you can safely use:
Degreasers: Simple Green or similar eco-friendly products
Disinfectants: Isopropyl alcohol
Automotive cleaners: Even brake cleaner won't damage our coating
Oil/grease: Degreasing dish soap handles it easily
For persistent stains, make a paste with baking soda and water. Apply gently, let sit briefly, then rinse clean.
