Caring for your Cabinets


Cabinet

Wood Cabinet Surfaces
As with all wood products, avoid excessive moisture. Wipe down exterior with a damp cloth to remove dust. Complete a small area at a time and wipe dry. Emulsion-type cleaning polish such as Murphy's Oil Soap safely clean and protect cabinets. These are formulated without wax, petroleum solvents or silicones.
                                                                                           
Cleaning Agents
Use a damp cloth when cleaning normal household spills. After wiping thoroughly, dry the surface with a lint-free cotton cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent with warm water and dry the surface immediately.

NOTE: Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or powdered cleansers. Do not use a dish cloth to wipe your cabinet exterior, since it may contain remnants of grease or detergents.
 
Care and Cleaning of Hardware
Periodically, use mild soap and warm water to clean door/drawer knobs or pulls. Thoroughly dry all hardware joints and surfaces and the surrounding area with a clean, soft cloth. Buff hardware with a clean, dry cloth.
 
CAUTION: Many brass and silver polishes contain harsh chemicals that can damage the hardware's surface.
 
Care and Cleaning of Mirrors
Cleaner should always be applied to a cloth, not directly to the mirror, and should not be allowed to run or drip into the base trim. Avoid cleaners that contain sodium hydrochloride, phosphoric acid or sulfur (found in products to prevent mildew and fungus).
