Wood Cabinet Caring Tips

Wood cabinet is really suitable for kitchen. It will add natural beauty to the kitchen. In order to make it use for a long time, here are some tips for you to take good care of it.

Treat your cabinets as you would fine furniture. Areas around the sink, range, dishwasher, oven and baseboards are the most susceptible to excess moisture, the number one enemy of wood. Wipe up spills and water marks as they occur. Avoid draping damp or wet dish towels over the door of the sink base cabinet. Over time, moisture could cause permanent damage.

Kitchen cabinets pick up a lot of grease, dirt and dust, but they are often overlooked while cleaning the kitchen, as it is not easy to notice a build up of dirt on cabinets. Add ½ cup of mild soapy solution to one gallon of water and gently scrub the cabinets with a clean cloth. Rinse and then use a dry cloth to wipe off any excess moisture from the cabinets. Aim to clean kitchen cabinets once every two weeks.

Protect wood cabinets from direct sunlight by installing curtains or blinds on kitchen windows. The sun's rays can cause cabinet finishes to fade.

Once the inside of the cabinets are clear of dirt and crumbs, good organization will help maintain clean kitchen cabinets. Foods that are prone to spilling, such as bags of flour or sugar, can be poured into sealable containers. If there are bugs in the kitchen, keeping opened boxes of food, like crackers or cereals, in sealable plastic bags or containers will help keep the bugs out. Placing similar foods on the same counters can also help in keeping clean kitchen cabinets because it will make it easier to find things without digging through the cabinets.
