• Although laminate cabinet doors are durable they are still susceptible to incorrect usage. Try to avoid scratches, cracks, indents, or any other cosmetic damage to your cabinets with cabinet-friendly only practices. Avoid kicking, slamming, or leaning against cabinet doors.

• This can often be something that is overlooked but, use a hood fan every time you use your stove for cooking. A powerful fan is one of the best tactics to pull out any smoke, gases, and cooking substances that may be released into the air.

• Although you can use the equipment for cleaning cabinets, never use any sharp or abrasive objects, as this can lead to scratches or deep nicks.

• Never use harsh chemicals, such as acetone, ammonia, bleach, abrasive powder, or gel cleaners.

• Additionally, if you ever use candles in the kitchen, ensure that they are away from your cabinetry.
