Discover how to keep your cabinets and surfaces sparkling without causing damage. To preserve the appearance of your solid wood or specialty cabinets, we recommend gentle cleaning with mild soap and warm water, followed by a soft cloth to dry surfaces thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which can dull finishes or cause damage over time. Consistent upkeep helps prevent water spots, swelling, and discoloration—especially in humid coastal environments like Ocean City. With simple maintenance, your cabinets will continue to look flawless always, enhancing your space with durability and lasting style.
For everyday cleaning or dealing with spills, a clean, soft, lint-free cotton cloth is all you need to dust off and remove minor debris. If your cabinets require a bit more attention, concoct your own cleaning solution by mixing a gentle dish soap with warm water.
Should you prefer a commercial cleaner, make sure to do a spot test on a discreet area to ensure it doesn’t discolor the wood.

Dirt and grime seem to find their way onto cabinets, whether they’re situated in the kitchen or bathroom. But fear not, even if your wood cabinets have suffered from spills, water marks, or minor scratches, they can be brought back to pristine condition with the right upkeep.
Act quickly to clean up any oil or grease spills to prevent lasting damage to your cabinet’s finish. A simple solution of dish soap and warm water usually does the trick for these types of stains. Remember to thoroughly dry the area afterward to ward off any water damage.
Match the color of your cabinets perfectly with our specialized Touch-Up Kits. For minor imperfections, the Touch-Up Pen will conceal them seamlessly. For deeper gouges, the kit’s tinted putty can fill in and color-correct as needed.
Cleaning the glass parts of your wooden cabinet requires a bit of finesse to avoid streaks on the glass and potential damage to the wood. Use a non-ammonia glass cleaner, applying it to a cloth first rather than directly onto the glass, to prevent the cleaner from dripping onto the wood and staining it.

Extended exposure to light can darken the natural wood of your cabinets or cause painted ones to fade. Consider utilizing window treatments like blinds or curtains to shield your space from direct sunlight and prevent fading.
Avoid hanging wet towels or cloths over your cabinet doors, as this moisture can harm the wood’s finish. Always use a dry towel to wipe down your cabinets after cleaning to avoid unnecessary water damage. In bathrooms, ensure proper ventilation after steamy showers or baths to keep mold and moisture damage at bay.
Our cabinets are built to withstand normal kitchen temperatures, but the self-cleaning cycle on ovens can produce much higher heat, which could harm nearby cabinets and hardware. Use this feature sparingly to avoid potential damage.

When in doubt about the suitability of a cleaning product, it’s better to err on the side of caution. The chemical components in many cleaners can be harsh, and once damage has occurred, reversing it can be challenging, if not impossible.
