Care & Maintenance
MELAMINE
PRODUCTS
Melamine products should be wiped clean with a solution of warm
water and mild dish soap. Wiping surface with a dry cloth after
washing is recommended to prevent streaking and excess water
seeping into seams, which could cause water damage to the
product. Avoid the use of cleaners containing ammonia, silicone,
or bleach.
LAMINATE CABINETS, DOORS AND SURFACES
With all laminate surfaces, you must use a cutting board,
chopping block or other protective surface for chopping,
slicing, pounding or hammering. Placemats or doilies should be
used under heavy, abrasive or ceramic items to prevent
scratching and marring of surface. Also, the use of heat
resistant pads or trivets to protect the surface from heat
producing appliances such as frying pans, bake ware, crock-pots
and electric cooking surfaces, is recommended as it may cause
blistering or other damage to your laminate surfaces. Never use
steel wool or abrasive pads as they can damage the surface
and/or lead to premature wear.
For every day cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a soft,
damp non-abrasive cloth and mild detergent or general household
cleanser, then rinse thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry. DO
NOT use cleaners or compounds containing strong acids or strong
bases on laminate surfaces. They may mar, etch, corrode and/or
permanently discolor or damage laminate.
Some staining agents and liquids can leave stubborn stains on
laminate surfaces. If the stain is not removable with mild
household cleansers, try applying a paste of baking soda and
water on the area and let it sit for a few minutes to pull out
the stain. This paste is slightly abrasive so do not rub. Wipe
up paste with a clean, dry cloth and rinse with clear water. For
deep penetrated stains consult specific laminate surface
manufacturer web page for product specific care.
WOOD CABINETS
Cleaning of wood products should be done with a clean, damp
cloth and dried
immediately
with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid excess moisture contact with wood
by doing small areas at a time. Doors may require a light coat
of liquid or furniture paste wax. Do not us detergents, strong
soaps, abrasives, self-polishing waxes or products containing
silicon. They may damage the finish on your wood cabinets. Wood
expands and contracts w/ humidity changes. Ideal humidity levels
are between 40-50%, which should be maintained to keep your wood
cabinets looking good for years to come.
SOLID
SURFACES
Although solid surface is extremely durable and easy to
maintain, it is not indestructible. Attention to product
precautions and recommendations will help ensure their lasting
value.
While minor cuts and scratches can be repaired, always use a
cutting board, chopping block or other protective surface for
chopping or slicing. Also, the use of heat resistant pads or
trivets to protect the surface from heat producing appliances
such as frying pans, bake ware, crock-pots and electric cooking
surfaces, is recommended.
Solid Surfaces may be cleaned with warm water and mild
non-abrasive soaps and household cleaners. Products containing
bleach should not be used as large quantities and extended
periods of exposure to this type of cleaning agent can cause
discoloration. Abrasive cleansers should not be used on solid
surface except for removing tough stains, minor scratches and
burns.
If a stain develops on the surface, wipe it away with soap and
water or glass cleaner. If the stain does not respond to soap
and water, and your solid surface has a matte finish
(non-gloss), apply an abrasive cleanser and buff with a green
Scotch-Brite pad using circular motions. The same technique can
be used for cigarette burns, minor cuts and scratches. If you
have a gloss finish, the surface manufacturer and/or dealer
should be consulted.
Harsh chemicals may be harmful to your solid surface and should
be wiped off immediately and rinsed with warm water. Some of
these chemicals include the
following:
Oven Cleaners
Toilet Bowl Cleaners
Drain Cleaners
Chlorine Bleach
Lime/Scale Removers
Rust & Metal Cleaners
Tub & Tile Cleaners
Coffee Cleaners
GLASS INSERTS
Glass inserts in cabinet doors or on other wood surfaces can be
cleaned using window cleanser and a soft cloth. Spray the window
cleaner on to a soft, clean cloth and wipe your glass inserts.
Never spray directly onto the door because over spray of the
window cleaner may damage the finish on wood surfaces. If you do
get some cleaner on the wood surface, wipe immediately with a
damp cloth followed by drying with a soft,
clean
cloth. |
