Step 1: Cleaning and Maintenance of Countertops

1. Material-Specific Care:
   Countertops come in materials like artificial stone, fireproof board, stainless steel, natural stone, and solid wood, each requiring tailored cleaning methods:
• Artificial stone & stainless steel: Avoid hard scouring pads, steel wool, or chemical agents. Use soft towels/soft scouring pads with water or a polish to prevent scratches or corrosion.
• Fireproof board: Clean with household detergents using a nylon brush/ball, then wipe with a warm, damp cloth.
• Natural stone: Use soft scouring pads; avoid toluene-based cleaners to prevent stubborn white spots.
• Solid wood: Dust first with a duster, then wipe with a dry cloth or specialized wood 保养乳液 (wood maintenance lotion). Never use wet cloths or oily cleaners.
2. General Maintenance Tips:
• Protect all materials from high heat—use pot stands for hot cookware.
• Avoid scratches from sharp objects; always use a cutting board.
• Prevent chemical erosion: Wipe up spills (e.g., salt on stainless steel, water on 人造板材 (artificial panels)) promptly.

Step 2: Cleaning and Maintenance of Door Panels

1. Material-Specific Care:
   Door panel materials resemble countertops, so follow similar guidelines:
• Avoid soluble cleaners on painted panels; never use benzene/resin-based solvents.
2. Practical Tips:
• Prevent water damage: Wipe off spills immediately to avoid warping from prolonged moisture.
• Tighten loose hinges/handles promptly; use furniture wax for solid wood panels.

Step 3: Cleaning and Maintenance of Cabinets

1. Sink & Drain Care:
• Clean the pipe neck behind the sink filter during every sink wash to prevent oil buildup.
• For stubborn grease, pour kitchen degreaser, flush with hot water, then cold water.
2. Storage & Care:
• Store heavy items (e.g., spice jars, glassware) in lower cabinets (upper cabinets have lower load capacity).
• Dry dishes thoroughly before storage; wipe hardware with dry cloths to avoid water marks.
• Use a fine mesh filter in the sink to catch food scraps and prevent clogs.

Step 4: Cleaning and Maintenance of Hardware

1. Hardware Types:
   Includes rice bins, metal baskets, hinges, slides, etc., mostly made of stainless steel or steel with plating/powder coating.
2. Maintenance Guidelines:
• Wipe up spilled salt/sugar/soy sauce/vinegar instantly.
• Oil hinges regularly to prevent rust and ensure smooth opening/closing.
• Open/close drawers gently to avoid track detachment; follow the recommended direction for rotating/lifting baskets (e.g., 高升蓝 (tall pull-out baskets), 转蓝 (rotating baskets)).
• Keep dry: Wipe off water immediately to prevent rust/water stains.

• Lubricate hinges/slides regularly for smooth operation; avoid overloading handles with wet/heavy items.

Step 5: Cleaning and Maintenance of Sinks

1. Stainless Steel Sinks:
   Use soft towels/soft scouring pads with neutral detergents—never hard scouring pads, steel wool, or chemical cleaners to avoid scratches/corrosion.
2. Other Materials:
   Clean with dish soap/soapy water to remove grease; avoid abrasive tools. Regularly clean the drain pipe neck (as in Step 3) and use degreaser + hot/cold water flushing for deep cleaning.
