Custom or prefabricated, cabinetry needs care!

The key to keeping your new cabinets in the most pristine condition is care and regular maintenance. 
​
​REGULAR CLEANING:

• Wipe down cabinet surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth or sponge to remove dust, grease, and grime. Then immediately dry with a dry cloth. 
• Dusting your cabinets regularly can prevent buildup and discoloration..
• Pay attention to areas near handles and pulls, as they tend to accumulate more oils and dirt.

AVOID HARSH CLEANERS:

• Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads on cabinet surfaces, as they can damage the finish. Opt for gentle cleaning solutions to maintain the integrity of the cabinet material.

HANDLE WITH CARE:

• When opening and closing doors and drawers, use a gentle touch to prevent unnecessary stress on hinges and hardware. Avoid slamming doors, as it can lead to damage over time.

PROTECTION FROM MOISTURE:

• Pay special attention to the dishwasher and sink area, as water and humidity can warp your cabinetry. 
• Wipe up spills promptly to prevent water damage. Moisture can cause warping, swelling, or discoloration of cabinet materials.
• Be cautious with steam from cooking appliances, as prolonged exposure can also impact cabinet surfaces.

​
USE CABINET LINERS:

• Consider using cabinet liners or mats in areas where items are frequently placed, such as under the sink or in drawers. This can help protect the interior from spills and scratches.

HARDWARE MAINTENANCE:

• Periodically check and tighten cabinet hardware, including handles, knobs, and hinges. Loose hardware can affect the functionality of doors and drawers.

AVOID EXCESSIVE WEIGHT:

• Be mindful of the weight of items stored in cabinets. Avoid overloading shelves or placing heavy items on cabinet doors, as this can strain hinges and affect alignment.
