Avoid harsh cleaning tools.

When you’re scrubbing down a white kitchen, skip the hard-bristle brushes. White tends to emphasize scratches.

Clean after every meal you prepare.

Avoid using colored products.

Skip the blue Dawn soap — instead, it’s best to use only white or clear solvents. Some colored products can cause visible staining.

Clean under appliances regularly, too.

Always make sure to clean beneath small appliances because food crumbs and grime can build up underneath microwaves and toasters.
