How to Clean Painted Cabinets Without Damaging the Finish

Identify the approved routine

Find the finish reference in the project documents and request its current cleaning instructions. Check which cloths, cleaners and methods are permitted. Do not transfer advice from laminate, stone or metal to a painted cabinet merely because those materials are nearby. Ask about any special instructions during the early period after installation. If the specification is unclear, contact LeVika before experimenting on a prominent front or assuming that a generic furniture polish is suitable.

Respond to ordinary marks carefully

Remove spills promptly using the approved method and avoid leaving moisture collected around edges or hardware. For a mark that does not respond to normal care, identify what caused it if known and ask the supplier for guidance. Do not escalate through stronger chemicals or abrasive tools without confirmation. A small test in a hidden area is not a guarantee that an unapproved product is safe for the whole coating, especially when its effects may not be immediately visible.

Keep damage separate from cleaning

If the finish changes color, lifts, becomes rough or shows a visible defect, photograph the area and contact the team. Repeated scrubbing can make the original condition harder to assess. Include the project reference and explain what has already been used. The goal is to preserve the supplied finish and identify an appropriate response, not to turn routine cleaning into an unreviewed refinishing attempt. Keep the care sheet in the client project files so future household members can follow the same documented routine.

Three questions to bring.

• Which coating is on our cabinets, and where is its care sheet?
• Which cloths and cleaners does it allow?
• What should we do with a mark that normal cleaning will not remove?
