A white vanity looks clean when you clean it a little and often. This page covers how to clean white bathroom vanity tops, doors, and handles with plain habits, and it starts from the white vanity range sold at Veil. White shows water spots and toothpaste sooner than a darker finish, so the habits here are small but steady.
The Daily Wipe
Wipe spills the day they land, because a drip left overnight dries into a ring. Keep a soft cloth near the sink, so the wipe takes seconds, not a trip to a cupboard. Dry the splashes around the faucet too, since that is where water sits longest. If two people share the sink, the second wipe matters as much as the first, because the splashes double too.
The Weekly Wash
Once a week, wash the top and doors with mild soap and water. A soft cloth does the work, so skip the scrub brush. Rinse the cloth often, because dirty water just moves the marks around. Then dry the top with a clean cloth, since air-dried water leaves the same spots you just washed off. The build under the finish matters too, so the material and finish guide is worth a read before you scrub a cabinet you have not checked.
What to Keep Off the Surface
Keep abrasive pads off the top and doors, because they scratch and dull the finish over time. Harsh chemicals belong in a different cupboard too, since strong cleaners can stain or soften some surfaces. If a mark will not lift with soap and water, leave it a day and try again gently, because force is what does the damage. Most white bath vanity care is this kind of patience, not stronger bottles.
Trays, Bottles, and Handles
Stand bottles on a small tray, so soap and lotion rings land on the tray, not the top. Handles and knobs collect toothpaste and fingerprints, but they wipe clean in seconds with the same soapy cloth. Check the faucet base when you wipe the handles, because that joint traps water and grit. If you are still choosing a tap, the faucet guide shows which patterns the white tops use.
When White Is the Wrong Pick
White is the wrong pick if your house is busy and marks will bother you every day. Kids, guests, and rushed mornings leave drips and prints, and white shows all of them, so a grey or wood finish hides the week better. It is also the wrong pick in a dim room with warm bulbs, because white can read grey and flat there. And if you know you will not wipe as you go, pick the darker cabinet now, since the vanity will not change its habits.
[OPINION: check] I'd keep a folded cloth on the counter edge, because a cloth in reach gets used, and a cloth in a drawer does not.

Questions
Most days, but only for a few seconds. Water spots and toothpaste show on white right away, so a fast wipe after the morning rush keeps them from building up. A deeper wash with mild soap and water once a week covers the rest. If daily wiping sounds like too much, a darker finish will forgive more.
Mild soap and water is the safe pick for the top, doors, and handles. Use a soft cloth, and skip abrasive pads and harsh chemicals, because they can dull the finish over time. Dry the area near the faucet after you wash, since standing water leaves the marks you just cleaned off.
Most marks sit on the surface, so they wipe off if you catch them the same day. The risk is time, not the colour: a drip left all week is harder to lift than one wiped in a minute. Trays under bottles help too, because soap and lotion rings never reach the top.
