Which do you have?
Do glossy ones show tons of fingerprints? Is matte hard to clean?
If you had to pick fingerprints but easy to clean / no fingerprints but not as easy to clean which would you choose?

You can get matte and very easy to clean. It's not a contradiction. I have that. I have formica. I love love my kitchen. I have a light color.

Are you asking about the laminate ones? Definitely the glossy. It doesn’t really show fingerprint and get very dirty. I would be concerned that mat will be hard to clean and can show dirt even more.

Matte. Glossy shows every speck. Avoid pebbled, because that is the worst of both worlds.

If you get a solid color matte it will show every speck of dirt. Mine is light matte but not a solid color. I never see dirt on my cabinets.

This is not what I have just trying to give you an idea. Mine is this texture but the grain inside is dark. So technically its a light kitchen but the dark grain camouflages the dirt.

I have Matt. It’s way harder to clean. It’s very easy to wipe down glossy cabinets w just windex. In order for mine to look clean I gotta so it w soft scrub in water w miracle sponge- it’s a way bigger hassle.
I tried spraying a cleaner once but it left specks from the spray; it didn’t clean it. Hatzlacha on ur decision.

I dont find that at all. I absolutely love my cabinets. I wonder if it makes a difference whether it's matte wood or painted wood and formica.

I guess that makes a big difference.
