Cleaning & finishes

Clean cabinets and vanities

Painted, stained, laminate and thermofoil cabinets need different products. The installed cabinet or finish instructions take priority.

Recommended timingWipe spills promptly; clean as needed

What to do

  1. Dust first, then test a soft cloth with warm water in a hidden area; add a small amount of mild soap only when necessary.
  2. Dab or wipe gently, remove soap residue with a clean damp cloth and dry promptly—especially at door edges, sink bases and seams.
  3. Do not hang wet towels on doors and avoid abrasive sponges, steam and harsh bleach, ammonia, alcohol or solvent cleaners unless the manufacturer approves them.
  4. Check below sinks for leaks and protect wood products from prolonged water, plumbing condensation and countertop-appliance heat or steam.
