Do not use any kinds of harsh detergents for cleaning the work top and the tiles in the kitchen. They can lead to fading of the work top or make their surface rough. The designs and colors of tiles might also be affected due to harsh detergents or cleaning chemicals.

Make sure that the cabinets, shutters, drawers and racks are closed while cooking so that there are no chances of things inside them getting sticky due to oil. If by chance something falls into the drawers or racks, clean them immediately so that they do not leave stains and marks.

The area of the sink in the modular kitchen needs to be kept clean always. While using the sink, water might spill out making the kitchen wet. Wipe the water with a dry cloth immediately. Keep the sink free of garbage and food scraps so that the plumbing does not get blocked.

The racks, drawers and cabinets for modular kitchens have high quality hinges in them so that opening and closing them becomes convenient. Check whether the hinges make any kinds of unusual noises or whether there are obstructions in operating them. In case there are any such problems, talk to the dealer from where you got them.

Avoid scrubbing any surface in the modular kitchen with sharp objects as the fine finishing of the surface can be hampered greatly. Use cloths and mild cleansing agents for removing any spots and stains from surfaces.

Follow these steps and keep your modular kitchen new forever.
