Cabinetry
-
Please Do
To maintain the finish on your cabinet use only a soft cloth and weak solution of non abrasive detergent.
To remove scratches and marks on two pack polyurethane, rub gently with car cutting compound, car polish or household brass/silver cleaner.
The board used to construct the cabinetry are water and moisture-resistant, but not water-proof. Please take care in keeping your cabinetry dry from any excessive moisture or water spillage.
Towel dry all moisture off doors and inside cabinetry after cleaning.
Please Don’t
Do not use scourers, abrasive, solvent based, silicone based or cream cleansers.
Avoid placing hot objects, such as saucepans or irons on the surface of your cabinetry. This may cause discolouration or damage to the surface.
-
Any accidental damage to the surface should be re-sealed immediately to prevent the ingress of moisture. We recommend using a small amount of acrylic paint or sealer to reseal the surface.
-
Avoid excessive water around the base of the cabinets and the kickboards. Never flood the kitchen area and take particular care when washing floors.
Wipe moisture off immediately.
Failure to follow instructions may cause kickboards to swell and/or be discoloured by mould. Resultant damage will not be covered by warranty.
-
Keep appliances that produce steam and/or heat away from underneath overhead cabinets. If possible, place these appliances under a rangehood.
Regularly check the condition and function of seals around dishwashers and ovens, to avoid leakage as this may result in damage to the cabinetry.
Benchtops
-
Please Do
For basic stains, clean with mild detergents, wiping clean with a soft damp cloth or sponge.
For tougher stains on gloss and semi-gloss surfaces you can use a non abrasive polish or Brasso. For matte surfaces use a scourer pad or scotch bright to maintain the matte finish.
Stone benchtops have excellent heat and chemical resistant properties, however to preserve the surface and protect against damage from heat, please place hot items on a trivet, towel or chopping board, do not place them directly on the surface.
Please Don’t
Do not place hot items directly on the surface for prolonged periods as extreme heat can cause permanent damage.
Do not cut directly on your benchtop surface, a chopping board should always be used. Cutting directly on the surface may cause scratches and blunt your cutting instrument.
