  • Wipe up spills, splatters and water spots as they occur.
  • Keep cabinets dry. Dry surfaces immediately with a soft cloth.
  • Clean as needed with a soft, lint-free cloth. Use mild detergent or soap and warm water.
  • Do not use products with bleach, ammonia or abrasive additives. Try Murphy’s Oil soap (use as directed).
  • Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge, which could contain remnants of grease or detergents.
  • Never use scouring pads, steel wool or powdered cleaners. Do not allow oven cleaners to come in contact with wood finishes.
  • Avoid placing small kitchen appliances where heat is directed onto cabinet surfaces.
  • Avoid draping damp clothes or dish towels over cabinet doors. Excessive moisture can cause permanent damage.
