Be Careful with Hardware

When cleaning your refaced cabinets, be careful with the hardware. Harsh chemicals and abrasive sponges can damage the finish of your cabinet hardware.

Do Not Use

Aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, ketones, halogenated hydrocarbons, or alcohol above 25%. Vinegar-based detergents should not be used.

• No solvents (e.g., paint thinners, turpentine, etc.)
• No abrasive detergents (e.g., baking soda, etc.)
• No furniture polish
• No denatured alcohols (e.g., white spirit, etc.)
• No cleaner in combination with a brush or scrubbing
• Use of brushes and scouring pads is not suggested

Don’t Use Wax or Polish

Wax and polish may seem like a good way to keep your refaced cabinets looking shiny and new, but they can actually cause damage. Wax and polish can build up on the surface of your cabinets, making them look dull and faded.
