- A soft cotton cloth is recommended to wipe any moisture, spills or standing liquid from your cabinetry as they occur. While paper products are very good at absorbing spills, they are abrasive when used for cleaning.
- Do not leave wet or damp clothes lying or hanging on cabinets or cabinet doors.
- Avoid using scouring pads or powdered cleansers as these may scratch and penetrate the surface, allowing food or moisture to enter and cause deterioration of the finish.
- Do not allow oven cleaners or other caustic cleaners to touch the cabinets. Follow instructions carefully for self-cleaning ovens and other kitchen appliances around cabinets.
- Avoid dry dusting. Dust and other airborne particles can be abrasive. Dry dusting abrades the finish and causes tiny scratches. Over time, these scratches will change your cabinets’ appearance, especially in high use areas.
- Maintaining the luster and shine is an important factor in keeping your woodwork looking like new. Choose a non-buildup product like Pledge, Lemon Wood Plus, or Old English to bring out the natural beauty of the wood in your favorite furniture pieces. Be sure to choose your cleaners carefully. Do not, under any circumstances, use anything abrasive, as this will scratch, dull, and potentially shorten the life of the finish. We recommend cleaning your cabinets every 45 days to keep them looking beautiful for years to come.
