Hardware Care & Precautions:
-
Precautions while using cleaning agents - Rust on channels, hinges, and other metallic parts due to household chemicals, sprays, moisture, or leakage of water. Oil spills are also known to Induce rusting. Care must be taken when using such products around hardware and accessories.
-
Using the Right Cleaning Tools - If you have cabinets that are finished with laminate, acrylic or PU, they need just a quick wipe down with a Micro fibre or just a soft cloth and a mild all-purpose cleaner. One can make a household cleaning solution with a 50:50 mix of white vinegar and water. By doing this regularly, we can avoid oil and grime build-up. Keep an eye on cabinets close to the cooking area, as that’s where most cooking oil will build up on cabinet shutters happen. Avoid cleaning agents on Pigmented & Powder coated surfaces, as it can decolour the material.
-
Stains can be tricky - If your cabinets are of finished in wood and polished with melamine, they can be cleaned in pretty much the same way. Wiping any spills at once, saves the surface from staining. Even water can leave a stain, so one needs to be careful!
-
Hot Vessels or heat exposure - Avoid keeping anything that’s very hot on wooden or laminate surfaces. Heat leads to cracks on laminate surface & crystalizes the adhesive holding the laminate, which leads to laminate warping & peeling
-
Observe Leakage's - Water leaks from the Hose pipe, kitchen sink or washbasin should be fixed immediately. Moisture over a course of time will ruin carcass and shutters and can cause them to warp. Continuously damp surfaces can lead to mold or fungus creation Inside ply veneers
-
Counter-Top care - Quartz/Marble are porous material's so make sure that you do not let any citrus juices like lime or spices like turmeric water/paste is not spilt on the countertop. Since counter-top materials like quartz are porous, stains may be permanent. So, if there are any spills ensure that they are wiped immediately.
