CARE AND CLEANING
WOOD DOORS AND PANELS
Dust cabinets frequently with a soft, lint-free cloth. You may dampen the cloth with water or with a spray-type dust
remover. Clean up spills immediately. Use a clean, damp cloth if necessary. Wipe dry with another clean soft cloth. Cloth
is better than paper towels for this purpose.
For maintenance cleaning of your cabinet, there are a number of products available for your wood cleaning needs,
typically promoted as furniture care products. We suggest using mild soap with a damp cloth to remove any build up
on cabinets. Any product used should be applied and then quickly and completely removed with a damp cloth. Dry the
cabinet completely after cleaning as excess moisture can be damaging to any ne wood nish. In addition, do not drape
wet or damp cloths over the edge of doors.
Do not use detergents, soap pads, steel wool or any other type of abrasive pad on your cabinet. These products will
damage the wood nish. We also suggest not using citrus oils, wax, or polishes that contain silicone because they leave
a residue that is sometimes dicult to remove and attracts dust. Finally, do not use solvents such as ammonia, bleach,
acetone, lacquer thinner or cleaners such as goof-o or WD40, all of which may damage or dissolve some or all of the
nish.
LAMINATES
You can clean all laminated surfaces by using a damp, soft cloth. Do not use excessive amounts of water, it will seep into
the seams of the cabinet. Sink base cabinets are the most common cabinet to have water damage and can usually be
protected with a plastic liner or pan.
PREVENTING HEAT OR HUMIDITY DAMAGE
The bathroom environment is very common place for humidity. It is very important to dissipate the humidity in the room
and not let it stay for long periods of time. If higher temperature settings are used for extended periods of time, the
heat may be excessive and the doors and drawer fronts should be removed. This is particularly important on laminated
panels, which cannot be exposed to extended temperatures beyond 160 degrees Fahrenheit without risking permanent
damage.
SUNLIGHT AND AGING
Over time, exposure to sunlight, smoke and chemicals may cause some materials to face or vary from their original color.
Cabinets or accessories added at a later date may not match cabinets previously installed. For the same reason, nish
samples on displays may not represent the exact color of cabinets received at the time of shipment.
VITREOUS CHINA
Vitreous china vanity tops and sinks are very durable. The glazing process provides years of enjoyment if cared for
correctly. Rinse thoroughly and use a soft cloth to wipe the product dry after each use to prevent hard water stains. Soft
abrasive cleaners may be used when necessary to clean vitreous china products.
GRANITE OR MARBLE TOPS
Natural stone is a porous material. Therefore, it may stain if not properly cared for. Granite counter tops should be sealed
before using. Follow the instructions on the sealer label. The easiest way to clean granite counter tops is to simply use
warm water and mild liquid dish soap, preferably without aromatics. This is a gentle way to clean the grease and grime
from your granite counters without damaging them. If you use plain soap and water, this can lead to soap build up and
over time, will dull the glossy nish of your polished granite. After cleaning you should rinse the counter top thoroughly
and dry with a soft cotton cloth.
QUARTZ TOPS
Quartz is easy to maintain. It is a non-porous material that is highly resistant to stain, scratches and heat. However, it is
not stain, scratch, or heat proof. Spills should be cleaned as soon as possible with soap and water on a regular basis
to keep the polished quartz looking like new. Use warm water and a damp cloth with a small amount of non-abrasive
cleaner that does not contain bleach.
