Care and Cleaning Guidelines

The materials and finishes used in the construction of our cabinets are designed to provide a lifetime of function and beauty. However, periodic cleaning is needed to maximize the life and to retain the original beauty of the finish. Here are some tips on providing the ultimate care for your cabinets.

  • The Catalyzed Varnish topcoat offers the utmost protection for kitchen cabinet applications and provides superior chemical and common kitchen stain resistance while maintaining color and sheen.

  • The top of the line varnish topcoat requires only minimal care and cleaning. We recommend periodic cleaning with a mild detergent and water solution to remove dirt, dust and grease that buildup with routine usage. Dampen a soft, non-abrasive cloth and wipe the entire exterior surface of cabinetry and dry with a soft cloth. Never use a wet cloth that allows water to run down the cabinetry and always dry cabinetry immediately if water or other liquids are spilled onto the surface.

  • Care should be taken not to use abrasive cleaners, ammonia or any other type of harsh chemical. These cleaning agents may cause discoloration, scratching, marring, and dulling of the finish. We also discourage use of furniture polishes and waxes on finished cabinetry. Furniture polishes alter the original sheen level and may leave a film on the surface that attracts dust and dirt. These polishes may also cause an irregular or blotchy appearance because they are unable to stand up to many common kitchen stains.
