Cabinet Care 101
How to keep your cabinets look great
Well-made cabinets can last decades. How to keep cabinets looking new year after year is simple. Read on below for easy care and maintenance tips.
First Step: Use clean, dry, soft microfiber cloths to dust your cabinets. Microfiber cloths are lint-free thereby guarding against scratching the cabinet finish. Do not use abrasive cleansers or dry paper towels as they will mar the cabinet.
Second Step: Most times a lightly water-dampened cloth is all one needs to clean cabinets surfaces but occasionally a drop of mild dish soap solution may be in order. Just make sure to add a drop or two of mild soap to water then apply to the cloth, wringing out thoroughly to avoid excessive moisture before application to the surface. For dried food or beverage spills, clean gently with a damp cloth until the dried spill softens and cleans easily. Never use abrasive sponges or scrapers as this will scratch the finish over time.
Third Step: Dry promptly with another soft cloth.
