Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use disinfecting wipes?
We recommend avoiding disinfecting wipes or cleaners containing bleach, alcohol, ammonia, or other harsh chemicals, as they may damage decorative finishes.
Can I spray cleaner directly onto my hardware?
No. Always spray cleaning products onto your cloth—not directly onto your cabinet hardware—to minimize chemical exposure.
How often should I clean my cabinet hardware?
Regular dusting and wiping every few weeks is sufficient for most homes. In kitchens or coastal environments, more frequent cleaning is recommended.
