Cabinet Care Tips
BASIC CARE
Cabinets are susceptible to grime, dirt, and build-up, which is why you must wipe them down often. By wiping your cabinets down with a soft cloth submerged in warm water, you can help mitigate the accumulation of gunk that might occur. How often you need to wipe down your cabinets will depend on the amount of traffic the room receives, how much you cook, etc.
You should also be wary of using specialized cleaners on your cabinets as they might harm the wood.
Fading & Sun Damage
Utilize window treatments to avoid fading and sun damage to your beautiful new cabinetry. Natural wood cabinets and those with Thermofoil are particularly vulnerable to fading and UV damage. At the same time, a certain level of fading is expected over time; using window treatments can help to stave this off and ensure that your cabinets retain their color.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners
Certain cleaners can damage the finish of your cabinetry. Avoid using cleaners that contain ammonia, bleach, and citric acid.
