White kitchen cabinets: Yes or No?
Kitchen remodeling has been utilizing white color in cabinetry design pretty intensively, and this popular design choice is obvious – white kitchen cabinets looks modern, clean and crisp, so its pretty hard to resist such and inviting option. This color is available in most of the styles when it comes to prefab kitchen cabinets and almost any custom millwork shop will offer the same wide selection of white cabinetry. On the other side, homeowners are sometimes afraid of the thought that selected white kitchen cabinets will not stay as clean and white, especially in places like kitchen, where a mess is a normal daily procedure.
Talking about “No”. Kitchen cabinets are vulnerable to cooking spills, grime and fingerprints. Things like that can build up over time and it might seem that keeping a white kitchen cabinets in decent clean condition is something difficult.
We have a good news for you – quality cabinets are really easy to maintain and clean if you are using correct approach. First and most important – go with reliable supplier/manufacturer of kitchen cabinets and use a services of professional kitchen remodeling contractor. You will hear this from any experienced kitchen remodeler – white cabinets are not all equal. Some have a coat of special paint while other are equipped with plastic film that creates a white finish surface. The higher quality of selected cabinets – the more durability and resistance they will have.
Here are couple things you should consider in your kitchen remodel planning to ensure your cabinets are staying cleaner for a long time:

This will prevent a build-up of dirt elements on the surface of your kitchen cabinets which means less cleaning for you.

- Utilize a splatter screen (regular, not fancy one). This cooking utility will prevent grease and splashes getting all over your cabinets and will minimize amount of cleaning for your kitchen counter-top, floors and stove-top.
- Install attractive knobs as part of your cabinetry and drawers. This will reduce the amount unnecessary fingerprints and overall grime on cabinets.
