Dutch made care and cleaning guide
Everyday Cleaning
- Use a clean, damp microfiber cloth after wringing the water out completely, to wipe down day to day messes.
- If any water beads form on the cabinetry, use a dry cloth to clear the surface of any water.
- Wipe up any spills, oil, grease, or food residue as soon as possible.
- For best results, wipe the cabinet fronts in the direction of the grain.
- To clean the cabinet interiors, use a damp cloth with mild soap and then wipe dry.

Extra Deep Cleaning and Renewal
- We recommend using Guardsman® Deep Clean purifying wood cleaner for cleaning heavy build-up such as dirt, oily films, and dried spills.
- Guardsman® products contain natural oils which clean, restore, and protect your wood cabinetry without wax or abrasives.
- Before starting, test an area on the back of a door to make sure the Guardsman® product works appropriately. This product may increase the overall sheen of your cabinetry. After you ensure you like the results, begin polishing the front of the doors.
- Shake the can well and spray the foam directly onto a microfiber cloth. Wipe the area until dry. Repeat the process as needed.
- After your cabinetry looks fresh and new, follow up with Guardsman® Anytime Clean & Polish to regularly clean, shine, and protect the cabinet finish.
- Guardsman® products are available for purchase at guardsman.com.
Cleaning High Gloss Cabinetry
- For everyday cleaning, use a clean, soft microfiber cloth slightly dampened with a mild detergent. Carefully and gently wipe down the cabinet fronts.
- Never use any strong, abrasive cleaners or stiff paper towels on high gloss materials as they will scratch the surface.
- Do not use harsh cleaners that contain chemicals as they may have a negative effect on the surface.
Not Recommended for Use
- Avoid any cloths or sponges that are abrasive. This can scratch the topcoat and change the sheen of the cabinetry.
- When cleaning cabinetry containing glass, do not spray glass cleaner directly on the glass. Many glass cleaners use ammonia which may harm the cabinet finish. Wet the cloth with the cleaner and gently wipe down the glass.
- Do not use any harsh cleaners containing abrasive materials, harsh detergents, ammonia solutions, or waxes of any kind. Use of these types of cleaners may void the warranty.
- Avoid leaving any damp items, such as dish rags, in contact with any wood surfaces. Avoid excess heat, which may break down or discolor your finish.
Touching Up Minor Nicks & Scratches
- You can repair minor nicks and scratches on most of our finishes using the touch up kit provided when your cabinets arrived. Contact your dealer if you need more touch up supplies or if the damage is too great to repair. Your dealer will be able to assist you in ordering any repairs or replacements.
