Cabinets Care


General Information

​• Keep cabinet surfaces dry.
• Quick temperature change and excessive moisture can be harmful to the cabinet finish and overall cabinet stability.

Initial Cleaning After Installation

• To remove dust, use a soft, lint-free cotton cloth to wipe down all exterior and interior sufaces.

Basic Cleaning

• Use a soft, lint-free cotton cloth dampened with a mild detergent or soap, and warm water.
• For best results, use a “blotting” action rather than a wiping action when cleaning.
• Dry surfaces immediately with a soft, lint-free cotton cloth.
• Avoid using a dish cloth or sponge – Harsh detergent residues may harm finishes.
• Avoid ammonia-based cleaners and soaps with dye.

Wipe Spills Promptly

• Food spills and grease will come off more easily if they are removed promptly.
• Wipe up spills and water spots immediately with a lint-free cotton cloth so moisture is not absorbed into the cabinetry.
• Check the areas around the sink and dishwasher to make sure that water and detergents do not dry on the cabinet surface.
• Do not leave printed materials (newspapers, magazines, etc.) on the cabinet surface. The printing ink can bleed into the cabinet finish.

Avoid Excessive Moisture & Heat

• Avoid draping wet or damp dish towels over doors of the base cabinets.
• Do not attach towel racks to the interior of the cabinet doors.
• Use trays under potted plants to catch excess water.
• Avoid placing small kitchen appliances where the heat or steam is directed onto cabinet surfaces.
• Always protect wood surfaces by using hot pads under hot items.

Avoid Abrasives

• Never use scouring pads, steel wool, wire brushes or powdered cleaners.
• Do not allow oven cleaner to touch any part of the cabinet.
• Avoid sliding objects across the cabinet surface.
• Be careful with knives and other sharp objects that can damage the cabinet surface.
• When in doubt of a cleaner’s suitability, don’t use it. Harsh cleaners and detergents may scratch and penetrate the surface, allowing food or moisture to enter and cause deterioration of the finish. Never leave a cloth moistened with cleaners on a cabinet surface for any length of time.

Care and Cleaning of Glass Door Inserts

​• Use a household glass cleaner with a soft, clean cloth.
• Apply the glass cleaner directly to a cloth rather than the glass or mirror.
• Avoid excess glass cleaner running into cabinet joints.
• Ammonia should never be used full strength.
