Wipe the traces of installation away and settle into your new space by
getting rid of that last bit of dust. A soft cotton cloth is all you need to
remove dust from interior and exterior surfaces.
Ready to clean?
Don’t fill up that bucket with warm water just yet. Start your scrubbing
process by consulting your installation or owners manual. Your cabinets’
manufacturer should have provided specific cleaning instructions for your
product. It’s best to follow those.
As a rule,
however, go soft. Harsh cleaners are unnecessary—and potentially damaging. A
mild soap or detergent mixed with warm water is all you need. Avoid
ammonia-based cleaners, soaps containing dye, abrasive scouring pads, or the
use of your kitchen sponge—or could contain the remnants of last week’s Clorox
scrub down!
Moisture and
cabinets are two terms that don’t belong in the same sentence. Because dampness
can damage your cabinet’s wood and finish, wipe off any water or liquid drips
immediately. When cleaning glass inserts, spray your glass cleaner directly on
the cloth—it’s these types of flyaway drips that cause harm. In the same vein,
be sure to dry your cabinets off after cleaning them.
