How To Clean Your Kitchen

How To Clean Your Kitchen

A question we are often asked is: how do I clean my new kitchen? To make it simple, we have listed the different types of materials and how to maintain them.

Wood, Polyurethane (Painted), Melamine, Thermolaminate

• Use a damp clean cloth (microfiber or chamois – not paper towel) with soap and water. We recommend a mild non-detergent soap (99 parts water, 1 part dishwashing liquid). Make sure you dry all areas immediately.
• Avoid abrasive soap pads, cleansers, steel wool, spray cleaners, solvent-based cleaners or anything containing bleach. Wax or polish is not necessary and is not recommended.
• Remove any excessive moisture as it can cause damage.
• Do not spray cleaner directly on cabinet or allow moisture to seep into seams or joints.
• Do not leave anything damp over cabinet doors or drawer fronts.

Stainless Steel

• Use stainless steel cleaner and a soft, clean cloth.

High Gloss Acrylic

• Remove the protective film from the doors after installation and use mineral spirits to remove any leftover adhesive near the edges.
• Use a damp clean cloth (microfiber or chamois – not paper towel) with soap and water. We recommend a mild non-detergent soap (99 parts water, 1 part dishwashing liquid). Make sure you dry all areas immediately.
• Do not use brushes, scourers or scrapers.
• Never dry wipe.
• Avoid abrasive soap pads, cleansers, steel wool, spray cleaners, solvent-based cleaners or harsh chemicals – anything containing bleach, acetone, ammonia, thinners, etc.
