How do I maintain lacquer kitchen cabinets to keep their high-gloss finish intact?

Lacquer cabinets’ sleek, reflective surface is low-maintenance but needs gentle care: Wipe daily spills with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth (avoid paper towels, which can scratch). For deeper cleaning, use a mild, pH-neutral cleaner diluted in warm water—never abrasive scours or harsh chemicals (like ammonia), which can dull the gloss. Also, avoid placing hot pots directly on lacquer surfaces (use trivets) to prevent heat damage that could crack the finish.
