Fine wooden kitchen cabinets represent a large portion of your kitchen investment, and they require the best care you can give them to protect it. The solid and engineered wood surfaces need to be cleaned, joints kept in sound working order and the hardware cared for. You mustn't forget the interiors of the cabinets and drawers either, even though they are hidden from sight. Now, my friends, I would like to tell you how to care for wood kitchen cabinets step by step as follows, and I believe you will benefit much from it. Cleaning kitchen cabinets are touched by your hands, splattered by cooking grease and smoke and attract normal household dust on a daily basis. The finish on the cabinets, whether it be paint or a clear-coat, determines the cleaning agent used. Mild detergents or citrus cleaners are appropriate for most cabinetry, but test them on the inside of a cabinet door to be sure. Never use abrasive pads or cleaners as these will abrade and dull the finish. Cleaning should include the often forgotten tops and interiors of the cabinets. The flat, horizontal surfaces of the exposed tops are magnets for dust and grime and should be cleaned with the rest of the surfaces. Depending on what you store in the cabinets, the interiors can also attract a fair amount of dirt. Remove the dishes or foods, and clean the shelving and cabinet boxes with the same gentle cleaner used on the exterior. Wax When the kitchen sink of cabinets have been cleaned, they should receive a protective coating of wax. Use a non-building furniture wax on all of the surfaces. It will make the cabinets look new again and add a protective layer between dirt and the wood finish. Repair Opening and closing cabinet doors and drawers puts a lot of strain on the joinery and can draw the wood apart. Cracks in the solid wood components will lengthen in use, and must be repaired immediately to maintain your investment. Most cracks and separated joinery are repaired by injecting wood glue into the crack and clamping it while it dries. If the crack or joint separation is large, consult a carpenter to have the repair professionally done. Care for Hardware Wood kitchen & bathroom cabinets are held together and made functional by their hardware. Knobs and pulls must be kept tight, or their mounting holes will become elongated and ruin the fit. Hinges on the doors need regular lubrication with a spray silicone to work properly. Tighten the screws holding the hinges as soon as they become loose to keep the doors aligned. Drawer slides should receive the same lubrication and fastener tightening to keep the drawers moving freely. Finally, let me have a short conclusion.
