WOOD SURFACES

As a rule, wood finishes may be cleaned and protected with any commercial cleaning polish. Products such as Murphy's Oil Soap contain no wax, petroleum or silicones. (Wax tends to build up on the surface. Silicone can harm the cabinet's finish.)

Wipe the surfaces with a clean, damp cloth, then dry immediately. To remove general soil or grease, use any common dishwashing liquid and a damp cloth to wipe clean. Dry thoroughly.

Excess moisture can damage any cabinet finish; areas near the sink, range, dishwasher, oven and baseboards are most susceptible. Keep these surfaces dry.

Avoid draping damp cloths or dishtowels over cabinet doors. Over time, this moisture could cause permanent water damage.

Waxing is not necessary, but you may apply any furniture polish or lemon oil recommended for fine furniture, if desired. Be sure to wipe off excess to avoid build-up.

NOTE: Do not use a dishcloth for cleaning. It could contain remnants of grease or detergents.

BLEACH AND AMMONIA: Avoid using cleansers that contain bleach, ammonia, or abrasives. These cleaners can damage your cabinet's finish.
