Cabinets
Your cabinet fronts, doors and drawer fronts are made from finished hardwoods. Washing with water will damage them. Preserve the beauty of the wood with furniture polish or lemon oil, instead. Clean up splashes and spatters promptly and dry the surface thoroughly to avoid permanent stains.
If your cabinets are painted, please understand that many environmental factors can alter paint color over time. Exact color matches for repairs or replacements aren't possible. To maintain your painted surfaces, keep them clean and dry. Wipe up smudges with a soft cloth.
Appliances installed under cabinets, including coffee makers and even radios, can generate enough steam to damage wood and painted surfaces. We're sorry, but we can't be responsible for any damages if you installed the appliance.
Squeaky hinges can be lubricated with a tiny drop of approved lubricant applied to the top of the hinge. Open and close the door several times to work the oil into the hinge. Then wipe up any excess immediately.
Putty sticks that match your hardwood finish are available in most hardware and paint stores. Use them to touch up minor scratches.
