How to Clean Fingerprints Off White Refrigerator Doors

A white refrigerator has a clean appearance that attracts many homeowners. In a light-colored kitchen, it can help create a bright atmosphere. In a dark kitchen, it can create a stunning contrasting focal point. Whether your kitchen is light or dark, a white refrigerator covered in fingerprints made from skin oils and dirt, food or beverages though can look grimy. Over time, fingerprints can also harden and stain making them difficult to remove. To clean fingerprints off your white refrigerator doors, you need to remove any old prints and then maintain the surfaces.
