Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning and proper care will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your KNOXHULT kitchen for years to come. The surfaces are designed to be scratch resistant, but proper care is still recommended.

• General Cleaning: Wipe surfaces clean with a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild non-abrasive detergent. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.

• White Finish: For the white finished surfaces, avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can damage the finish.
• Hinges and Drawers: Periodically check and tighten any loose screws on hinges and drawer runners. Lubricate if necessary to maintain smooth operation.
• Sink Area: Clean the sink regularly with a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
