Cleaning & Care For Merillat Cabinetry
Wood Finishes
Cleaning and caring for Merillat kitchen and bath cabinets is easy. For routine dust removal, a simple soft lint-free cloth will do the job. For added effectiveness, the cloth can be dampen slightly with water or a dust remover spray. If food is spilled on the cabinets, it should be cleaned immediately with a clean cloth and mild soap if necessary and wiped dry with a soft cloth. The cabinets should be polish once or twice a year using a light coat of quality furniture polish. To preserve the appearance and integrity of Merillat kitchen and bath cabinets, we recommend never to use detergents, soap pads or steel wool to clean them. Harsh abrasives will mar the wood finish. You should also avoid using paste wax and polishes that contain silicone as they create a wax build up that lives a residue that is difficult to remove and attracts dust.
Laminate – Melamine and Vinyl
The interior and exterior laminated surfaces should be cleaned periodically using a damp soft cloth and wiping the area dry after cleaning if necessary.
Glass Doors
To clean the glass doors of Merillat kitchen cabinets, a commercial glass cleaner can be used. Merillat’s glass panel can be cleaned while mounted on the door or can be removed for better access. When cleaning mounted glass, be careful not to damage the finish of the door and cabinet parts while cleaning.
Preventative Care
Self-cleaning ovens are cleaned through the use of intense heat. If the heat gasket does not seal properly, heat may escape from the oven. Cabinets installed near a self-cleaning oven can suffer finish or surface damage. To minimize the risk of damage during cleaning cycles, we recommend that you remove doors and drawers from cabinets that are above and adjacent to a self-cleaning oven.
UV Effects
Over time, Ultra Violet light rays in natural sunlight may effect the appearance of cabinets. Merillat applies UV inhibitors to all its wood cabinetry as part of the finishing process. The finish on your cabinetry will not change, but the wood may, depending on its natural characteristics, the amount and direction of light exposure, and the portion of the cabinet that receives light
