Congratulations on your new Holland’s Custom Cabinets!

Your new Holland’s cabinets are made from high-quality materials and finishes. Like any other piece of furniture, proper care and maintenance are required to keep them looking new.

Cabinet Maintenance Tips

Hardwood Cabinets

Water Is Your Worst Enemy.

If you have a spill or if there is water on the cabinets after doing dishes, wipe it off completely with a soft, clean, dry microfiber towel. Pay particular attention to the edges of the cabinets and the inside edges of the doors.

Cleaning Your Cabinets

If you have a spot on your cabinets that won’t wipe off with a dry microfiber towel, try a lightly dampened microfiber towel to remove the stain. 

General Maintenance

Every six months (or sooner as needed), clean cabinets with a quality liquid furniture polish, such as Old English Lemon Oil. Do not use an aerosol spray-type polish. 

Also, avoid products that contain silicone. These products attract dust and could harm the finish.

Acrylic Cabinets

Acrylic cabinets become more scratch-resistant a few days after the removal of the protective film. This process can be accelerated by lightly polishing the surface with Novus No. 1 or Plexus plastic polishes using a clean microfiber cloth.

Do Use:

  • Clean, wet microfiber cloth
  • Clean wet chamois
  • Novus No. 1 polish (gloss finish only)
  • Nonabrasive soap and detergent
  • Warm water

 

Don’t Use:

  • Paper towels
  • Dry-wipe at any time 
  • Brushes, scourers, or scrapers
  • Abrasive cleaners 
  • Thinners or methylated spirits

TSS Thermo Structured Surfaces Care

On smooth or slightly embossed surfaces, avoid spraying products directly onto the surface, as this may leave stains and marks. Instead, apply the non-aggressive detergent product on a soft, damp cloth or magic eraser.

Cleaning Tips

  • Use cold water for fruit juice, marmalade, syrup, milk, coffee, liqueurs, soap, and ink.
  • Use cold water and detergent for fats, sauces, dry blood stains, wine, liqueurs, and eggs. 
  • Use hot water and detergent for jelly, vinyl glue, watercolors, and organic waste. 
  • Use mix of 50% Water/50% rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol for vegetable oil, pens, magic markers, and foundation make-up.
  • Use Acetone for nail polish and linseed oil.
