kitchen finishes

If you’ve got children or grandchildren, keeping your kitchen and eating area clean is a major task. You can cut down on the time it takes to clean up a mess and the damage it can do to materials by choosing the right kitchen finishes. The options below are guaranteed to help you cut down on scrubbing and wiping, keeping finishes and surfaces looking better for longer.

Countertops

Quartz countertops are frequently at the top of the list for finishes that clean up easily and are relatively resistant to scratches and stains. Because quartz is a hard, non-porous surface, you’re less likely to see staining, which is something more common with popular choices like granite or marble.

Additionally, quartz countertops can be cleaned quickly with a warm washcloth. If you need a cleaner, quartz holds up to common surface cleaners found in any Myrtle Beach store. Avoid corrosive chemical cleaning products and placing hot pans directly on the countertop.

Flooring and Backsplashes

There are many options for kitchen flooring, but here are the ones that will protect you best from spills, stains, and scratches:

Because of these reasons, porcelain, ceramic and vinyl are popular materials for backsplashes, areas that see a lot of grease, grime, and dirt.

Cabinets

When it comes to cabinetry, the simpler the design, the easier it is to clean. Food, dirt, grime, and grease particulates congregate in the detailed recessing of cabinetry.

Flat panel or Shaker-styled cabinets lack the tiny grooves the make cleaning difficult. You can easily wipe down a flat cabinet door. A number of experts recommend satin paint for cabinetry as they are not as porous as high-gloss paints.

If you are opposed to satin paint, semi-gloss is regarded as a type that handles moisture and stains well. Semi-gloss paint is a good choice for baseboards and trim.
