All About Kitchen Furniture Handles

The handles of the kitchen furniture are, it is not known how, those elements of the room that, without having a particularly noticeable size, first enter through the eyes. Their attractive shapes and materials, together with the outstanding position they occupy on the exterior surface of the furniture, immediately capture our attention and improve or worsen our opinion of the general decoration of the kitchen.

That is why it is worth paying a little more attention to them.

Types

There is a wide variety of kitchen cupboard handles depending on the style of the kitchen furniture on which they are located:

Modern:  In different modern design finishes (straight or arched), normally in chrome and steel colors.

Rustic:  In old design with porcelain and aged finishes.

Knobs:  Round handle

Hidden:  It is not an independent element but rather the shape of the front of the furniture is adapted to serve as an opening and closing system.

The fundamental rule that all manufacturers observe when selling their furniture and that many users forget when renewing its appearance is that handles must always preserve the general style of the room so that we will never put a handle type rustic on a modern piece of furniture.

Cleaning

Kitchen cupboard handles are points where dirt is especially concentrated because, serving as an opening and closing support, they are subject to constant handling and, in most cases; hands are not clean enough to stain them.

Fortunately, and except in cases of very exceptional materials (wood), the cleaning of the handles will be carried out exactly the same as that of the standard surfaces of kitchen furniture.

From time to time it is convenient to carry out a more thorough cleaning because the sweat transferred by the fingers robs them of shine, which causes them to stain or discolor.

Although we find it more laborious, it is a good time to disassemble them, immerse them in a container with warm soapy water and let them soak for half an hour so that the dirt comes off completely, scrub them with a toothbrush paying special attention to the grooves and leave them dry completely.

For metal handles, finish by applying a metal polish and a thin layer of beeswax to help protect the finish and keep them looking cleaner longer.
