Cleaning Your Cabinets
April 17, 2024
Basic Cabinet Care Tips

- 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.
