Cabinet Care & Maintenance

Proper care will keep your cabinets beautiful and functional for years to come. Follow these simple steps:

    • Wipe Surfaces Often: Use a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and spills.

    • Mild Soap Only: If needed, mix a small amount of mild dish soap with warm water. Never use harsh chemicals, bleach, or ammonia-based cleaners.

    • Dry Thoroughly: Always dry the cabinets after cleaning to prevent moisture damage.

    • Avoid Excess Water: Never allow water to sit on cabinet surfaces, especially near sinks and dishwashers.

    • Use Ventilation: Run exhaust fans when cooking or washing dishes to reduce humidity.

    • Wipe Spills Immediately: Promptly clean up liquids to avoid staining or warping.

    • Maintain consistent indoor humidity (35–55%) to minimize wood expansion or contraction.

    • Avoid placing heat-producing appliances (coffee makers, toasters) directly under cabinets.

    • No Scrubbing Pads: Do not use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners—they will damage the finish.

    • No Wax or Polish: Most modern cabinet finishes don’t require waxing or polishing.

    • Hinges & Slides: Occasionally check and tighten screws on hinges and drawer slides.

    • Handles & Knobs: Wipe hardware with a damp cloth and dry immediately.
