Hello @manalip
Thanks for sharing your question about your kitchen doors. To remove oily fingerprint marks from your kitchen door, start by wiping the surface with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a small amount of dishwashing liquid—this helps break down the grease without damaging most finishes. For more stubborn marks, you can use a gentle all-purpose cleaner or even a mix of vinegar and water if your door material allows it. Just be sure to dry the surface thoroughly afterwards to avoid streaks or water damage.
Unfortunately, some laminate materials are prone to oil absorbtion on its surface the black colour enhances the oil marks even further. I'm currently unaware of a spray or coating that you can use to stop this stain from happening. Regular light cleaning is key giving the doors a quick wipe each week, especially around handles, will go a long way in keeping them clean. If possible, installing handle hardware or using Kaboodle 16mm Chrome Plated Discreet Grip Kitchen Door Handle as a secondary handle can also help reduce direct contact with the door surface and keep those oily marks under control.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
