<strong>Modular kitchen maintenance tips: Keep it dry</strong><br />Moisture is one of the biggest culprits behind damaged cabinets and warped surfaces. After washing dishes or cleaning the sink area, wipe away standing water immediately. This simple habit prevents swelling, stains, and long-term damage to the cabinetry. (Image: Canva)

<strong>Modular kitchen maintenance tips: Use mild cleaners</strong><br />Strong chemical cleaners can dull finishes, erode laminates, and leave surfaces looking tired. A soft cloth and mild detergent or even a gentle vinegar-water mix can take care of most daily grime without harming the materials. (Image: Canva)

<strong>Modular kitchen maintenance tips: Degrease regularly</strong><br />Cooking, especially Indian-style tadkas, releases oil and fumes that settle on cabinets and tiles. A weekly wipe-down of hobs, chimneys, and cabinet exteriors keeps grease from turning into a stubborn, sticky film. This not only keeps the space fresh but also supports hygiene. (Image: Canva)

<strong>Modular kitchen maintenance tips: Don’t overload cabinets</strong><br />Each shelf and drawer has a maximum weight capacity. Stuffing them with heavy utensils or piling containers haphazardly strains runners, hinges, and internal mechanisms. Over time, this can cause sagging or breakage. Organising items by weight and frequency of use goes a long way. (Image: Canva)

<strong>Modular kitchen maintenance tips: Protect countertops</strong><br />Countertops may look sturdy, but they can chip, crack, or lose their sheen if mishandled. Avoid chopping vegetables directly on the surface and never place steaming-hot pots without a trivet. Small steps like these keep your counters glossy and damage-free. (Image: Canva)

<strong>Modular kitchen maintenance tips: Deep clean the chimney</strong><br />A chimney collects oil residue that can clog filters and reduce efficiency, and in extreme cases, even pose a fire risk. Depending on your cooking style, schedule a professional cleaning every three to six months. A clean chimney also keeps your kitchen smelling fresh. (Image: Canva)

<strong>Modular kitchen maintenance tips: Mind the hardware</strong><br />Loose knobs, creaky hinges, or a drawer that doesn’t glide smoothly may feel like minor irritations, but they’re early signs of wear. Fixing them promptly prevents bigger structural issues and ensures your kitchen works the way it was designed to. (Image: Canva)

<strong>Modular kitchen maintenance tips: Ventilate well</strong><br />Proper ventilation keeps moisture, heat, and odours under control.
