CABINET CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Use mild cleaners to do everyday cleaning. We recommend: mild dish soap diluted in water, Howard’s Orange Oil, Murphy’s Oil Soap, Old English Wood Conditioner & Cleaner, Pledge Furniture Polish.

Always use a slightly damp soft cloth to wipe cabinets. For areas requiring more aggressive cleaning, use Orange Glo or Old English Wood Cleaner straight out of the bottle on a soft cloth. Be sure to wipe off excess cleaner.

Use a wood finish conditioner once or twice a year to add luster and protection back into your cabinet finish.

Treat cabinets as you would furniture and they will last a lifetime.

MAINTENANCE

Repair scratches and chips in the finish to keep water or cleaners from penetrating to the wood surface.

Apply a finish revitalizer once or twice a year to add luster and protection back into your cabinet finish.

We recommend: Howard’s Feed-N-Wax Wood Polish & Conditioner, Old English Wood Conditioner & Cleaner, Pledge Restoring Oil.

TOUCH UP

Cracks or dents on the wood surface should be filled with the appropriate color wax stick (crayon). Rub the wax stick into the affected area. Smooth by scraping with a credit card or similar. The surface should now be ready to finish but can be lightly sanded with 320-grit sandpaper.

If color has been removed, apply appropriate color with a touch-up market–Saco finished are easily matched with markers found at your nearby hardware store. Follow the instructions on the marker package for best use.

Apply a clear coat for protection as needed. Apply 3 or 4 light coats with the spray can held 6-8″ from the surface.

DO NOT

-use bleach or bleach-water solution to clean cabinets.
-use a soaking wet cloth. Avoid leaving excess liquid on cabinet surfaces.
-use aggressive industrial cleaners.
-use abrasive products.
