🧽 TOUCH-UP SPOTS & TOUGH STAINS

🍽️ Food Splatters or Grease:
Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a 50/50 vinegar and water mix.
Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.

✍️ Scuff Marks or Crayon:
Try a small amount of baking soda paste (water + baking soda).
Rub gently, rinse, and dry.

💧 Water Spots or Moisture Rings:
Blot dry immediately. Prolonged moisture can warp or damage wood-based cabinetry. 

📦 JUST INSTALLED?

Avoid heavy cleaning or polish for the first 30 days to allow the finish to cure completely. Use only a damp cloth and dry immediately.

🛡️ LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE TIPS

🧰 Hinges & Hardware:
Tighten loose screws or handles periodically.
Use a soft cloth and mild soap to clean knobs, pulls, and hinges.

🌬️ Humidity Control:
Keep indoor humidity between 30–50% to prevent warping, cracking, or swelling.

☀️ Sunlight Protection:
Limit direct sunlight on cabinet faces or side panels. We recommend use shades or window film if needed to prevent fading or yellowing.

​🚫 Avoid: Excess water or steam mops (can cause warping or dullness). Harsh cleaners, vinegar, ammonia, or oil soaps.​
