Home Maintenance Tips

Cabinets and Countertops:
Always clean cabinets and countertops with a gentle, non-abrasive detergent as they can scratch easily. Avoid using sharp, jagged utensils on countertops as damage may occur.

If cabinet doors become loose, tighten hinges securely. Avoid exposing cabinets to steam, such as a dishwasher or a cabinet-mounted coffee maker, as this can cause the wood to warp. Keep standing water away from back-splashes, side-splashes and seams around the sink on laminate countertops. These areas are prone to water damage since moisture will eventually break down the seal and cause swelling or delamination of the countertop. Check seams periodically and recaulk as necessary.
