Kitchen q

[crystal**flake]

I'm getting a new kitchen (dont know when) and I love the glossy look.

Has anyone got cons of getting one?

Mother in law just did a full renovation. Opted for the glossy look. The only negative is she hates fingerprints spoiling it.

It has been long enough to know...about six months.

it really is a personal choice...unless someone has some real issues, go for it 🙂

 I opted for a matt finish because I have been told that the glossy shows every mark, finger prints etc., not sorry I did

Thats what I was really worried about.................and I'd imagine it shows smears too when you wipe them?

I have enough trouble keeping the SS stove clean as it seems to show every mark, as does the front of the fridge, I am finding the matt finish is great

There are special cleaners for the glossy benchtops, no streak finish, same with steel.

so it will be OK. After a while you will not notice the odd mark.

viva makes a stainless steel wipe, I think there are a few on the market.

It really is a personal choice, I think, my bench tops are matt as well and I love them, so easy to clean

Yes. I know I would be quite fussy for a while then little by little, not see it so much. But fingerprints would get to me initially...oh yes 🙂

Mine is only 2 weeks old, so I am at the fussy stage atm, prob wont last lol

Mother in law still going strong after six months...wipe here, wipe there...I am too scared to touch anything 🙂
