Have you tried vinegar and water? My daughter uses Windex on her Silestone countertop which is dark. Maybe one of those with the microfiber will help. ( Or a soft clean cotton cloth).

Yes, yes they do.
When they are clean, of course.

I just popped the caps off and spray-painted them. Also, I once had black laminate in my house bathroom and then chose it for my cabin bathroom as well. Although it was a matte finish, it was quite textured so didn't really show anything. I loved it.
While the radiance finish will add to the option cost, it does reflect the light which makes my trailer look even roomier.

That kitchen looks really good, Karen. I order snap caps all the time since I've been restoring Scamps but the plastic paint would work well too. It will cost $1.20 to order the black ones and they do have some chrome ones that might look nice too. Screw Caps & Screw Covers by PRO-DEC
Actually, I found 6 in my snap cap can from our liquid granite countertops we did in our 17b so I'll only need 6.
I did pass a suggestion on to ETI that they order in some black snap caps since there seem to be a lot ordering blacks n grays lately.

Hi Karen,
I hope I'll get a chance to see your trailer - it sure looks great .... and talk about our designs and ideas. You are so grounded!

Greg (and SandraL), picked up micro fiber towels and today used with Windex. Huge difference, thanks to both of you!!!

Excellent, thought they might be a solution. Good to know since our Formica is basically black. The micro fiber would probably work just dry as well.

Black Snap Caps
Ordered the black snap caps and got them installed today. Before and after pics below. Total cost with shipping for 15 large was $4.99. They actually sent a bag of 25 so got a bit extra if anyone needs some at Quartzsite just ask.

Greg, where did you get them? I lost one of my brown ones and am not sure whether to call them screw covers.
