Everyday cleaning
Use a soft cloth with warm water and mild soap, then dry the surface. Wipe in the direction of the grain.
Clean spills quickly, especially near the sink and range.
Avoid soaking and standing water.
Products to avoid
Harsh chemicals, bleach, abrasive pads and strong solvents can dull or damage finishes.
Test any new product on a small hidden area first.
Do not hang wet towels on cabinet doors.
Grease and fingerprints
Warm soapy water removes most grease. For heavy buildup, repeat gently.
Use a fan when you cook, which reduces grease on cabinet faces.
Dry the surface after cleaning.
Hardware checks
Once a year, tighten loose screws on hinges and pulls. Check slides for smooth movement.
If a door sags or rubs, small hinge adjustments often fix it.
If a screw hole is stripped, a repair is better than forcing the screw.
Humidity and seasons
Wood moves with the seasons in Middle Tennessee. Doors may rub in summer and show small gaps in winter.
Steady indoor temperature and humidity help.
Ventilate baths and kitchens.
