Cabinet Care and Maintenance Guidelines

 

Sunlight Exposure:Exposure to sunlight can lead to cabinet discoloration, and UV rays may intensify the cabinet color. To prevent this, minimize exposure by keeping windows closed.

Cleaning Instructions:

  1. Wipe cabinet doors with a damp cloth and immediately dry with a lint-free cotton cloth.
  2. Pay extra attention to areas around sinks and dishwashers.
  3. For stubborn stains, use mild detergent with warm water and a soft cloth. Dry immediately to avoid water marks.
  4. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or powdered cleansers.
  5. Never let oven cleaner touch any part of the cabinetry.

Glass Doors Maintenance:

  • Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner for glass doors. Do not spray cleaner directly on the glass; instead, spray onto a cloth and wipe the glass. If the cleaner contacts the finish, wipe it off immediately.

Tips and Recommendations:

  1. Do not use a dishcloth with grease or detergent remnants to wipe cabinet exteriors.
  2. Promptly clean up spills and water marks.
  3. Avoid draping damp towels over cabinet doors.
  4. Use handles when opening and closing doors to prevent skin oil damage.
  5. Do not use cleansers with wax, petroleum solvents, or silicone.
  6. Promptly clean off grease, crayon, lipstick, or oil with a damp cloth, mild dish soap, and warm water. Dry immediately.
  7. When using appliances like kettles or steamers, pull them away from cabinets to allow steam to dissipate.

Environment:

  • Control humidity levels between 35% - 45% to prevent warping or cracking. Minimize sunlight exposure by closing windows.

New Home and Structural Changes:

  • Settling in a new home may cause structural movements affecting cabinets and countertops.
  • Adjustments may be needed post-construction (not warrantied), with a service fee applicable for assessments and adjustments.

Stove and Ventilation:

  • Proper stove ventilation is crucial to prevent damage from heat, including warping, discoloration, peeling, and splitting of cabinets.
  • Self-cleaning stoves can potentially damage laminate countertops; be cautious with heat generated through the sides.

These guidelines are designed to ensure the longevity and quality of your cabinets, and we recommend following them for optimal care.
