Thermofoil cleaning and maintenance usually requires little beyond regular dusting, spill and splatter control and surface washing. Proper cleaning removes oily or sticky residue that can build up over time and result in vinyl wear, tearing or discoloration.
Things You Will Need

Wipe thermofoil cabinets weekly to remove dust, or as spills or splatters occur, with a clean, damp sponge or soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
-
Wash the cabinets with a sponge or cloth and non-abrasive surface cleaner approved for use on vinyl at least once a month or as needed to maintain the surface and remove dirt, oil, grease, sticky substances or stains. When washing the surface, rub dirty or stained areas using a circular motion to dislodge any material clinging to it.
