Customers often ask us which cleaning products to use on their custom cabinets. Although mild soap and water usually do the trick, some products offer added cleaning power. Products like Method Daily Wood Cleaner and Weiman Furniture Wipes are good choices. Method is non-toxic and has a pleasant almond scent, while Weiman is perfect for quick cleaning. Both are available on Amazon and at local superstores and hardware stores.
Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals containing bleach or ammonia. These can degrade your cabinet finish over time. If you want to use an all-purpose cleaner, always do a test spot in a hidden area first. Microfiber cloths are also helpful and can be used wet or dry on any surface in the kitchen or bathroom.
In addition to regular cleaning, it’s essential to be mindful of your cabinets’ environment. Factors such as humidity and direct sunlight can affect the integrity of the finish. To protect your cabinets, consider using a dehumidifier in moisture-prone areas and installing window treatments to minimize sun exposure. This simple preventive maintenance can help extend the life of your cabinetry, ensuring that it retains its rich color and luster.
Regular maintenance will keep your custom cabinetry looking its best for years.
