Keep your cabinets looking beautiful for years. Wipe with a clean, soft lint-free cloth, use warm water or mild dishwashing liquid, dry surfaces thoroughly after cleaning, and polish once or twice a year with oil-based furniture polish. Avoid wax-based products that cause buildup.
Never use harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia, bleach, or silicone-based polishes on your cabinets. Avoid cleaning with dishcloths or sponges that may carry grease. Don't use brass or silver polishes on hardware — they contain harsh chemicals that damage cabinet finishes.
Ensure spills and splatters are wiped immediately to prevent staining or discoloration. Avoid exposure to high heat sources — remove cabinet doors and drawers near self-cleaning ovens during cleaning cycles. For glass door fronts, spray ammonia-free cleaner on the cloth, not the cabinet.
