Design to endure.

Simple care and maintenance to preserve the beauty and function of a kitchen made for everyday living.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild cleaner, using a microfiber cloth for smudges. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals. Clean tracks, slides, and hidden compartments with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Spills should be cleaned up immediately, especially near seams and edges, to prevent bubbling. Use coasters under drinks and trays under items that may hold moisture. For resistant stains, apply a paste of baking soda and water and rub gently, then rinse thoroughly. Rust marks can be removed with mild vinegar, testing on a small area first.

Protection & Prevention

Use trivets under hot cookware and cutting boards when preparing food. Do not place hot items directly near laminate surfaces, and avoid prolonged exposure to steam or hot appliances underneath laminate.

Regularly inspect doors, drawers, handles, and hardware, tightening loose fittings as needed. Avoid dragging heavy items across surfaces and rotate contents in drawers to distribute weight evenly and reduce wear. Apply silicone spray periodically to tracks and hinges to keep soft-close drawers and pull-out trays operating smoothly. These steps help preserve the function and appearance of all custom finishes and hidden storage features.
