Immediately
As soon as your cabinets are installed, wipe all surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately.
Never use kitchen cloths or sponges that might have detergent or grease on them.
Maintenance of Cabinetry Interior and Exterior
Clean at least once monthly to protect wood and bring out its natural beauty by wiping surface with clean, damp cloth, then dry.
To remove soil or grease, use suds from common dishwashing liquid (not detergent). Wipe clean with damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
During routine kitchen use, immediately dry cabinets near sink, range, dishwasher, oven and baseboards where water splashes and spills often occur to prevent damage to you cabinetry finish.
To protect your cabinet’s finish, never use cleaners containing bleach, ammonia or abrasives on cabinetry.
Do not wax cabinet surfaces.
To repair small scratches, nicks and dents
Most cabinet scratches can be touched up by using a special kit available from your dealer which includes a touch-up marker, filler pencil and fast-dry touch-up. Start with the touch-up marker. If scratches or nicks still show after using a touch-up marker, use a filler pencil. Simply rub the pencil overfilling the scratched area and wipe away excess with a clean soft cloth. Then apply a protective coating of clear Fast-Dry Touch-up or a clear acrylic spray (available in the paint section of your local hardware store).
Never use sandpaper or any other type of abrasive paper or material to even out a scratch, as it will damage the cabinet finish.
