“Many areas of your kitchen are high-contact surfaces that require regular cleaning, as well as periodic deep cleaning. You might first think of the refrigerator or countertop as the most frequently touched spots, but your kitchen cabinets’ knobs and pulls are handled quite a bit, as well. “Cabinet knobs can become a hub of grime and bacteria, so regular cleaning is important,” says Kathy Cohoon, the director of franchise operations at Two Maids & A Mop. Cleaning these pieces, however, requires some care; be sure to avoid formulas laden with acidic extracts or gritty abrasives. “We don’t recommend harsh abrasives on any kitchen surfaces, including hardware or cabinetry. Mild soap and water will do the trick for removing any build-up beyond dust,” explains Stephanie Pierce, the director of design and trends at MasterBrand Cabinets. Here, find out how to clean this hardware, according to cleaning and home experts.”
