🪄 Easy Ways to Keep Your Kitchen Looking New for Years

Your kitchen is the heart of your home — a space where memories are made, meals are shared, and style meets function. But daily use can take a toll on its shine. Whether you own a Lathomz modular kitchen or a custom-designed setup, a few smart habits can keep it looking brand new for years.

1. Regular Cleaning is Key

Dust, oil, and food stains can quickly make even the most beautiful kitchen look dull.
Use a mild cleanser and a soft cloth for daily wipe-downs. Avoid harsh chemicals — they can fade the laminate or paint over time.

Pro Tip:
For cabinets, use a microfiber cloth and clean in the direction of the grain to maintain the finish.

2. Avoid Water Damage

Water is one of the biggest enemies of wooden and laminated kitchen surfaces. Always dry off spills immediately and keep the area under the sink moisture-free.

Lathomz kitchens use moisture-resistant materials, but prevention is always better than cure.

3. Maintain Hinges and Drawers

Over time, hinges, soft-close drawers, and pull-outs can loosen. Regularly check and tighten screws to keep your storage smooth and quiet.

For kitchens using premium hinges like Salice Silentia or Air, a yearly maintenance check ensures longevity and flawless motion.

4. Keep Countertops Scratch-Free

Use cutting boards instead of chopping directly on the countertop. Even durable surfaces like quartz or granite can lose their polish over time due to scratches.

Tip:
Avoid placing hot pots directly on the surface — use heat pads or trivets instead.

5. Upgrade Lighting for a Fresh Look

Lighting plays a huge role in keeping your kitchen fresh and inviting. Replace old bulbs with LED under-cabinet lights or add warm accent lighting for a modern feel.

6. Polish and Refresh Cabinet Finishes

Once or twice a year, give your cabinets a polish to restore their shine. If you notice fading, Lathomz experts can help you refinish or re-laminate the doors for a completely refreshed look.
