    Kitchen Respray Aftercare: How to Keep Your Finish Looking Perfect

    Your kitchen has been professionally resprayed and looks stunning. Now here's how to keep it that way for years to come.

    The First 2 Weeks: Be Gentle

    Although your resprayed cabinets will feel dry and hard when we hand them over, the coating continues to cure for approximately 2 weeks. During this period:

    • Avoid heavy scrubbing or abrasive cleaners
    • Don't attach anything to the painted surfaces (magnets, sticky hooks)
    • Close doors gently — avoid slamming
    • If anything spills on the surface, wipe it off promptly with a soft cloth

    Ongoing Cleaning

    After the 2-week curing period, cleaning is simple:

    • Daily: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Warm water is usually all you need.
    • Weekly: Use a mild washing-up liquid solution and a soft cloth. Rinse and dry.
    • Avoid: Bleach, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, and acetone-based products. These can damage the finish.

    Handle With Care

    New kitchen handles help protect your finish — they give you a grip point so you're not touching the painted surface directly with greasy or dirty fingers.
