Fingermarks on kitchen cupboards

in Old style MoneySaving
Hi everyone,

I have recently had a new kitchen installed which I'm very happy with. However, my only niggle is the fingermarks which are all over laminated doors. I've tried all sorts to remove them but nothing seems to be working.

Any ideas on what I could use please? :)

    Finger marks on dull stainless steel stuff can be removed with baby oil, wiped on and polished off with soft kitchen towel. It might work with the finger marks on your laminated doors? It must be quite gentle as it's for babies' skin and if it doesn't work, it will just wash off with soap and water. Up to you if you want to try it on your new kitchen doors?

    Hope that helps :).


    Keep Smiling :)

    Hi, if it's greasy fingermarks from when the builders installed the kitchen you could try warm soapy washing-up liquid water (I use ecover) but don't get it too wet as it can get under the laminate and lift it. hth
    I must remember that "Money Saving" is not buying heavily discounted items that I do not need. :hello:

    hi

    I clean mine using hot water and washing up liquid and then buff them up with a microfibre cloth

    Just spray on furniture polish and buff up. The silicones in the polish will also help to repell further finger marks as well.

    That was a Kim & Aggie How Clean Is Your House tip I picked up and it does work!!
