Q: Can you use a steam cleaner on laminate cabinets?

• <div><p>No, we don&rsquo;t recommend using a steam cleaner on laminate surfaces, including kitchen cabinets. Steam can affect the structure of laminate cabinets, loosening the layers and causing them to warp. However, you can deep clean your laminate cabinets using other methods, such as soap and water or a vinegar mixture.</p></div>

Q: How can professionals enhance kitchen functionality during a remodel?

• <div><p>Professionals enhance kitchen functionality by optimizing layouts for workflow efficiency, incorporating modern storage solutions, and selecting high-quality appliances. They ensure the space is tailored to the homeowner&rsquo;s needs, creating a kitchen that is both beautiful and practical.</p></div>

Q: Can I use vinegar to clean cabinets before sanding?

• <div><p>You should not clean cabinets with vinegar. While many homeowners think it is a natural cleaner, vinegar is a mild acid, not a degreaser. Since it does not cut through greasy grime, it won't effectively remove it from kitchen cabinets. For best results, use a degreasing cleaner designed for prep work, then rinse and dry thoroughly before sanding.</p></div>

Q: What's the difference between refacing and refinishing cabinets?

He took 319 dollars, not paid through Angi, but directly out of my account, he spoke to me once and then never showed up. Angie SUCKS when it comes to getting money back, you have to buy GOLD membership. Which is a very scummy way of doing business.
