SueDonim - not at all hard work or high maintenance. A wipe over of any dirty marks with damp cloth is really all that is necessary. I just wanted to know if there was anything else I should be doing, occasionally, to keep looking as new. Cannot think you have been doing anything less than this in any kitchen. I chose to have a gorgeous free-standing black fridge freezer in this kitchen - was warned against this as I was told it shows every mark. Has been no problem to me, each evening when I do final clear up in kitchen I wipe that down with a microfibre cloth and it keeps looking glorious. So, now also wiping over the cupboard doors, lower ones and upper ones on alternative evenings. Five minutes work each day - very worth while
