Cabinet Care
Information and guidance in helping you care for your cabinets after installation
According to the American Hardwood Council, confusion is fueled by the myth that wood is "alive" and needs to breathe. On the contrary, according to the council's information center, wood doesn't need to be "moisturized" with oily cleaners and polishes. If wood dries and cracks it's due to changes in humidity, not for lack of oil.
Basic Cabinet Care Tips
Wipe up spills, splatters and water spots as they occur - keep the cabinets dry
Clean as needed with a soft, lint free cloth. Use a mild detergent or soap and warm water
Dry surfaces immediately with a soft cloth
Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge - it could contain remnants of grease or detergents
Do not use products with bleach, ammonia or abrasive additives
Do not allow oven cleaners to come in contact with wood finishes
Avoid placing small kitchen appliances where heat is directed onto cabinet surfaces
Avoid draping damp cloths or dishtowels over cabinet doors - excessive moisture can cause permanent damage
Do not use waxes or polishes
