Heritage Custom Cabinetry recommends the following cleaning
& care for your fine cabinetry:
Wood Stain and Paint Finishes
Heritage specifies only the finest woods, finishing them
with durable industrial coatings designed to have a high degree
of resistance to normal household products.
For everyday cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe
the surfaces dry.
Never allow water to puddle on the inside floor of a cabinet,
penetrate down into the natural wood below an unsealed countertop,
or gather in the finished wood molding or detailing of a door
or case frame. This is particularly important in beaded inset,
painted cabinetry installations, notably in damp areas such
as around the sink cabinet.
A more thorough cleaning may be achieved using 1 ounce of
Spic and Span® per gallon of water, or a very mild detergent.
Do not use any polishes that contain silicone or a high concentration
of waxes on your wood cabinetry. Harsh detergents, ammonia
solutions and cleaners with abrasives should never be used
on fine cabinetry.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Although very durable, as well as stain and wear-resistant,
stainless steel is prone to scratches unless properly cared
for. Do not use any abrasive cleaners or pads on stainless
steel. Such products remove the brush pattern of the stainless
and mar the surface. Stainless steel cleaners, available for
kitchen appliances and sinks, are appropriate for stainless
steel doors.
Acrylic Finishes
Matte:
A product such as Fantastic® on a soft cloth may be used
to clean acrylic matte finishes. Never use any strong or abrasive
cleaners or stiff paper towels on acrylic matte finishes as
they will scratch the surface. NOTE: excessive rubbing on
an acrylic matte finish will “buff” the surface
causing the sheen level to change and the finish to become
shiny.
Gloss:
A window cleaner such as Windex® does an excellent job
on acrylic gloss finishes. Never use any strong or abrasive
cleaners or stiff paper towels on acrylic gloss finishes as
they will scratch the surface.
