To maintain the beauty of your wood cabinets, simply care for them as you would any fine furniture. Lanz Cabinets uses state of the art ultraviolet-cured finishes and quality lacquers, which do not require wax. But, should you decide to wax your cabinets, use a wax that does not contains cleaners. Apply with a clean soft cloth and buff with a clean dry cloth.

Mild soap and water may be used to clean oil, grease, or other material from wood surfaces. All soap residues should be rinsed by using a clean damp cloth. Immediately dry with a clean dry cloth.
2. LIGHT CLEANING
Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean, soft, damp cloth and dry with a clean, dry cloth.
3. IMPORTANCE OF DRYING
Failure to dry your cabinet may result in finish damage and possible damage to the underlying wood.

AVOID
EXCESSIVE
MOISTURE
Quality furniture such as these cabinets cannot withstand constant washing or exposure to water. Immediately dry off any areas where water has spilled. Keep all surfaces dry.
HARSH
CHEMICALS
Nitrogen-containing compounds, such as ammonia, can damage the finish of your cabinets. Avoid using detergents, strong soaps, or abrasive cleaners, as they may be harmful to the finish.
WAX
While spray waxes may temporarily increase the sheen of your cabinets, the build-up will eventually need to be removed, which may damage the finish. Do not use wax on thermofoil doors or laminate surfaces.

HARDWARE
MAINTENANCE
As with any working part, our hinges or drawer guides may become loose over time and therefore should be checked periodically and tightened as necessary.
SCRATCHES
AND NICKS
These may be hidden using touch-up furniture polish or marker on shallow scratches, or by using a color matching wood tone putty on deeper scratches or nicks. Buffing with a light coat of wax will aid in blending into the surrounding area.
LOADING
SHELVING
When our cabinets are mounted by a Lanz Cabinet installer or mounted according to our instructions, each square foot of shelf will safely hold up to 25 pounds but not to exceed 450 pounds total weight per cabinet, when applied slowly, over five minutes.
CLEANING
BREAD BOARDS
Concealed white plastic breadboards are non-porous which makes them safe for food handling. Designed to be washed in the dishwasher for cleaning and sanitizing. We recommend that you remove the breadboard from the dishwasher before the drying cycle to prevent the board from warping. Stand the board on end to dry.
To avoid trapping moisture in the cabinet, make sure it is completely dry. For deeper cleaning, deodorizing, and whitening, make a paste made from equal parts of baking soda, salt, and water, and scrub.
LOADING
DRAWERS
The Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (IKCMA) tests drawers and drawer guides with 15 pounds per square foot of drawer load and operates the drawer repeatedly (25,000 cycles) to test for durability and load handling capabilities.
The drawers and guides we offer at Lanz Cabinets are designed to meet or exceed these specifications. Please see your chosen guide for actual details and limitations.
