Hi Gloss Kitchens!

Options
:confused: We have a hi gloss kitchen from IKEA (not my Idea, OH talked me into it) Its fab but we have difficulty keeping the doors shiny, does anyone have any (cheep) ideas!
Only two big facts are known for certain: you are on a large, spinning rock hurtling through lonely space at about 67,000 mph, and one day your body is going to die. Will a new pair of shoes really help? :p

  • hi,
    we have similar kitchen to which we use either any type of cream cleanser (without bleach & you can use the value c/cleanser.) can be put on neat but i usually have a wet cloth handy to wipe it over after i've put it on. just make sure that you use a damp clean cloth to wipe it all off so no dullness marks.
    hope this helps

    We've IKEA red gloss units - rewally smart, boast - & I use a spray glass cleaner, & microfibre cloth. Tt's a commercial product from local supplier to cleaning contractors, around £10/ 5litres.

    Windolene or similar, do them too - the blue watery stuff, in sprayers.

    Or if REALLY need polishing, https://www.merproducts.co.uk the car polish is first class, for this job!

    Bit late now, but did you do what IKEA said & damp wipe straight after removing the protective film, when fitted. Apparently it helps with the hardning of the finish - clever Moneysavers'll tell us how!
