Purchasing Solid Wood Cabinets? Here are Some Maintenance Tips for You

Most of us have come across the phrase- “Kitchen is the heart of the house”. But, do we really focus on the kitchen area, as much as we do on the other parts of our house? I’m sure you are mumbling “no” to yourself. Well, you are not the only one who ignores the kitchen area. I have come across numerous homeowners who don’t pay attention to their kitchen. And by doing so, they commit a major mistake as this is one of the major parts of the house. If you keep it shabby then, it’s going to reduce the overall appeal and value of the house. Hence, you should never ignore your kitchen.


If you are thinking the renovation a kitchen is going to make a hole in your pocket, then you are mistaken. Unlike other rooms, you don’t need to purchase too many décor items to revamp it. Instead, just replacing the existing cabinets with new ones will be enough. So, visit a reputed store in your city that sells discount kitchen cabinets. Wondering, which kind of cabinet should you purchase? Well, the solid wood cabinets are trending these days. Yes, this is true that they are a bit tricky to maintain. But, there’s nothing to worry as below, I have mentioned some simple tips to take care of these cabinets. Take a look.
  • Wipe off Spills Immediately- When you are working in your kitchen, there are high chances that you may accidentally spill a liquid on the solid wood cabinets, which would end up damaging the wood by fostering molds. Thinking, what it the solution? It’s simple; after you spill something, make sure you wipe it immediately so that the liquid doesn’t penetrate deep into the wood.
  • Use Soft Cloths- Whether you are wiping the spills or doing a monthly clean up, it is essential for you to use a soft cloth. Why? Of course so that, the wood is not damaged. Apart from soft cloth, you can also use a sponge.
  • Avoid Ammonia Cleaners- Usually, most of the home cleaners contain ammonia in it. But, when you are cleaning your wooden cabinets, please make sure you avoid using cleaners that contain ammonia as they may ruin the wood.
  • Use Lemon Oil instead of Wax Polishes- For keeping the cabinets glossy, most people smear a coat of wax on the solid wood cabinets. Wax definitely makes the cabinets look shinny but, at the same time, it creates a yellow build up on it. So, I personally prefer not to use it. Instead, I use high-quality lemon oil to keep the sheen intact.
So, these were some of the tips that you must follow to maintain wooden discount kitchen cabinets. If you want to know more about wood cabinets, keep following my blogs.
