To clean a matt kitchen effectively, HG offers solutions such as HG grease away for removing grease and grease residue, and HG power foam kitchen for quick and thorough cleaning of larger surfaces like the sink and worktop.

Solutions for cleaning matt kitchen surfaces

If you are looking for ways to clean matt kitchen surfaces without professional cleaning products, there are several household solutions you can try. These methods are not always equally effective and require careful handling:

• A mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water applied with a soft cloth
• A paste made from water and mild washing-up liquid for localised cleaning
• A mixture of lemon juice and water applied to stains and wiped away afterwards

Although these methods may be effective in certain situations, they may not be suitable for all materials and finishes. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area before applying more widely. If in doubt, it is advisable to use a professionally developed cleaner such as HG grease away or HG power foam kitchen.

Why your kitchen looks matt

There are several reasons why a kitchen may develop a dull or matt appearance:

• Limescale deposits: Hard water can leave deposits that affect appearance
• Greasiness: Grease particles settle and create a dull finish
• General wear: Daily use can reduce shine over time
• Incorrect cleaning products: Harsh products can damage finishes

To prevent these problems, clean regularly using suitable cleaning products. Use an extractor hood during cooking to prevent grease buildup. Consider water softening measures if limescale is a recurring issue. Regular maintenance with appropriate, non-aggressive products will help maintain your kitchen's appearance and prevent long-term damage to the matt surface.
