Wood Cabinets:

  • Dust or vacuum periodically.
  • Polish with a polished-moistened cloth. Follow the grain - wiping against could scratch.
  • New cabinets must cure for approximately 30 days before cleaning.
  • ALWAYS use a water-based cleaning agent. Murphy's Soap®, Johnson's Pledge®, or Cabinet Magic® are just a few of these agents that can be used.
  • Waxing should be done every 6-months. A good wax contains carnauba wax.
  • NEVER use soap and water because it can damage the finish on the cabinets.
  • NEVER hang damp towels on doors or cabinet surface.

Laminate Countertops:

  • Self-cleaning waxes can be used to provide a protective film on the surface.
  • ALWAYS use a trivet, insulated hot pad, etc. beneath hot objects placed on countertops.
  • ALWAYS clean up staining liquids (grape juice, cranberry juice, etc.) as soon as possible.
  • NEVER place hot pans on the surface without a hot pad.
  • NEVER cut or hammer anything on the surface of the countertop.
  • NEVER allow water to stand on the countertop surface. It will destroy your top!

Solid Surface Materials:

  • Use soap & water or Windex®. DO NOT use 409® or Fantastik®.
  • If stained, use an abrasive cleanser and buff with a Scotch-Brite® Pad using a circular motion.
  • For minor scratches, simply sand with a medium (180 grit) sandpaper, then follow with a fine sandpaper, and finally buffing with a Scotch-Brite® Pad.
  • ALWAYS use a heat shield or a hot pad.
  • DO NOT expose the surface to harsh chemicals.
