Care and Cleaning Guidelines

-Rosehill Cabinet Cleaner is the only cleaner formulated for our cabinet finishes and is warranty approved.

– Use a damp cotton cloth, spray Rosehill Cleaner on to the cloth, wipe and follow with a dry soft cloth immediately after to dry the cabinet. This pertains to the inside and outside cabinet finishes.

–  To avoid the possibility of scratches, always wipe in the direction of the grain.

– If a more thorough cleaning is needed to remove oil or grease deposits,  Rosehill Cabinet Cleaner is recommended to spray directly on to soft clean dry cloth and wipe cabinets.

– Never use abrasive soaps, ammonia, detergents, bleach, waxes, solvent or petroleum or silicone based cleaners.

– Do not use dish cloths or sponges that have harsh detergent or harmful residues.

– Do not use pre-moistened dusting sheets or aerosol products made for dusting.

Wipe Spills Immediately

– Wipe up spills, water spots, and standing water immediately with a dry cloth so moisture is not absorbed

– Prolonged exposure to spills, including water, food, any liquid, or oil and grease spots can cause permanent damage.

– Humidity is a predator as high humidity levels can have the same damaging result to wood as liquids. Relative humidity should be held in the 35-55% range and temperatures in the 17-24 Celsius range.

Avoid Excessive Moisture

– Moisture is a predator to any wood product or finish. Do not allow water to stand against any cabinet components as permanent damage will occur. – Pay special attention to the sink, dishwasher & bathrooms as these areas are prone to wet conditions.

– Avoid hanging wet or damp cloths on or near finished wood. This can cause permanent damage to the cabinet finish.

– Avoid using appliances that cause steam near any cabinet surfaces as this will cause permanent damage.

Heat & Light

– Avoid appliances causing heat from coming into contact with cabinets.

– Ensure that the range is even with or slightly higher than the level of the counter top to avoid heat deflecting directly on to the counter top edge from the element.

– Slide out self cleaning ranges if possible when cleaning. If not possible, remove doors beside, above, and below oven when cleaning to avoid damaging heat from super hot cleaning cycle.

– Drapers or blinds are suggested to minimize the effects direct sunlight can have on cabinetry, such as darkening or fading of cabinetry.

Cleaning glass and mirror doors

– Use a soft cloth and a household glass cleaner

– Apply cleaner directly on to cloth, NOT on the mirror or glass itself to avoid cleaner running behind door frames and damaging the finish.

Rosehill cabinet cleaner is available for purchase at both Winnipeg and MacGregor locations.
