What You Need To Know
Cabinet refacing is a great way to refresh the look of your kitchen without having to do a complete remodel. However, to maintain the beauty of your refaced cabinets, it’s important to take good care of them. Proper care and maintenance are crucial for extending the lifespan of your cabinets, preserving their beauty, and ensuring they continue to look like new for years to come. By taking good care of your refaced cabinets, you can enjoy their beauty and functionality for a long time. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner is recommended. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or scrubbers that can damage the finish. Hot items should never be placed directly on the cabinet surfaces, as this can cause the finish to blister or peel. This guide will provide everything you need to know about caring for your new cabinetry look.
Daily Cleaning
To clean the surface of your cabinets, all you need is a soft cloth and a non-wax dusting aid such as Pledge®. It’s important to avoid using abrasive cloths, brushes, or pads as they can cause scratches or damage to the cabinet’s surface. When using a dusting aid, it’s best to spray it directly onto the cloth instead of spraying it directly onto the cabinetry. By following these simple steps, you can effectively clean and maintain the surface of your cabinets without causing any harm or damage.
Deep Cleaning
If you want to give your cabinets a deep cleaning, you can use a mild soap like Murphy® Oil Soap and a soft cloth. It’s important to carefully follow the package instructions when using the soap. After cleaning, make sure to rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water and then immediately dry it with a soft cloth. If you leave soap residues on the surface, they can cause streaks and smudges on the finish. By properly rinsing and drying the surface, you can ensure that your cabinets are clean and free of any soap residues that can harm their appearance.
Thermofoil Finish
To clean your thermofoil cabinets, it is recommended to use a damp cloth or sponge with mild dish soap. For more stubborn stains, you can use a soft cloth dampened with a household cleaner. However, it’s important to avoid using cleaners that contain ethyl alcohol, acetone, or mineral oil, as they may damage the surface of the cabinets. By following these guidelines, you can keep your thermofoil cabinets clean and looking great for years to come.
ProGuard Surface Protection
Your wood cabinets are covered in an exclusive ProGuard Finish, which is designed to last for many years without requiring much maintenance. It’s important to note that it takes around 30 days for the coating to reach its maximum performance. During this period, it’s important to handle your cabinets with extra care and avoid using harsh cleaners or solvents that could potentially damage the finish. Taking extra precautions during the first 30 days after installation will help ensure that your cabinets remain in top condition for the years to come.

What Our Customers Are Saying
This company did a great job on my countertops, arrived at my home about 30-35 mins earlier than planned. I was not home at the time and they did not have my cell number. These guys waited for me to arrive home instead of just leaving my package on the porch or returning for another day. Patience and professional!
MKD’s customer service proposition is the best I have seen in my 45 years of serving kitchen remodel customers. The Townsend’s treat their customer’s kitchens like they are their own, and their craftsmanship and fabrication is second to none. This is a great company to do business with.
I had new counter tops installed and they are awesome! From the start, they were very professional and efficient. They did a great job helping us choose the color, the edge detail and some great options. They also did a great job keeping me informed on the templating and installation dates. I will definitely use MKD for any future projects. Jim Collins.
