Expert Care & Maintenance Tips for Kitchen & Bathroom Cabinets

Maintaining and Enhancing the Shine of Wood Cabinets

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.

Top Tips for Maintaining Wooden Cabinets

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.

Removing Oil and Grease Stains from Wood Cabinets

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.

Fixing Dents, Scratches, and Nicks in Wooden Cabinetry

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 Cabinet Glass without Damaging the Wood

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.

Protecting Against Light Damage

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.

Preventing Water and Moisture Damage

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.

Avoiding Heat Damage in Kitchen Cabinets

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.
