Care and Cleaning Information

The “8-step finish” of your cabinetry is designed to protect the surface against normal home use. With proper care, your cabinetry will provide years of use and beauty in your home.

To properly care for your cabinetry, remove dust from your cabinets frequently with a soft lint-free cloth. You may slightly dampen your cloth with water or a spray-type dust remover.

If you spill anything on your cabinets, clean immediately. Use a clean cloth and mild soap if necessary. Wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

Wood and laminate cabinet surfaces can be polished with a good quality furniture polish; however, we do not recommend this very often—no more than every 3 to 4 months due to wax build up. We do not recommend the use of any type of paste wax material. Wax buildup is difficult to remove and will leave a residue that can attract dust and moisture. Also, any polishes that contain silicone should never be used.

To keep your cabinets beautiful, never use any type of detergents or ammonia based cleaners. Steel wool, soap pads and harsh abrasives should never be used as this could result in scratches to your cabinetry.

It is also recommended that you never mount space saver appliances under your cabinetry because excessive heat and moisture, especially from coffee makers and toasters—they may damage your cabinets.

Characteristics of Wood

Since wood is a product of nature, natural wood from each tree varies in grain, pattern, density and color. The effect of nature’s original beauty on the final color is considered to be the distinctive character so highly sought after for generations. Color match and grain variations will vary because of these material characteristics and should not be considered as defects.

Finishes that enhance these effects on natural wood:

Pearl (white wash on oak)
A white translucent finish that only masks the full range of colors from various grains found naturally in red oak. It provides a slight antique touch.

Gold, Bronze, Bay, Nutmeg, Spice, Sugarbeet and Toffee ( medium to dark)
Color variations due to minerals and acids from the soil in which the tree was grown will enhance the various components used and will emphasize the different colors with each individual component.

Opal (white wash on Maple)
A more dense white finish on maple wood that softens the grain effect but allows the wood’s natural color variations to be pronounced throughout its construction.

Natural, Coral and Fruitwood (light color finish)
Natural finish brings out the various grain characteristics of natural wood.


We call your attention to these characteristics because the effects presented in your kitchen may be different from what you visualized.
