Care & Maintenance Guide
Your custom cabinets—whether a $3,000 bathroom vanity or $24,000+ kitchen—are built to last 20+ years with proper care. This guide covers everything including Calgary-specific climate considerations.
Daily & Weekly Care
Everyday Cleaning:
- Wipe with soft, lint-free cloth (microfiber best)
- Dampen with water only—wring out excess
- Wipe in direction of wood grain
- Dry immediately
What To Avoid
- No bleach, ammonia, or abrasive cleaners
- No steel wool or scouring pads
- Never soak cabinets or leave standing water
- No wax—our catalyzed finishes don’t need it
- Keep steam appliances away from surfaces
Calgary Climate Considerations
Calgary’s dry climate (30-40% winter humidity) and temperature swings (-30°C to +30°C) require special attention:
Humidity Management (Critical):
- Maintain indoor humidity 35-55% year-round
- Use humidifier in winter (Calgary homes drop to 20-25% without)
- Extremely dry conditions cause wood contraction and finish cracks
