    I've never heard of that brand, but If you have grease on your cabinets, I would try using blue dawn dish soap in some warm water then rinse and dry them well.

  • I use vinegar and water and it works well.

  • Using a soft, lint-free cloth, dust cabinets often. You can use a spray-type dust remover or a little bit of water to mildly dampen the cloth. leaks. Wipe up spills right away.

    General Cleaning & Care

    Wood Finishes

    Dusting. Dust cabinets frequently with a soft lint-free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water or a spray-type dust remover.

    Spills. Clean spills immediately. Use a clean cloth and mild soap if necessary. Wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

    Cleaning. There are a number of products available for your wood cleaning needs. Use a clean cloth and mild soap if necessary. Wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

    Polishing. We recommend that you wash and polish cabinets once or twice each year. Use a light coat of quality furniture polish.

    Don’ts. Never use detergents, soap pads, or steel wool on your cabinetry. These harsh abrasives will mar the wood finish. Additionally, we recommend that you avoid the use of paste wax and polishes that contain silicone; the wax build up is difficult to remove and will leave a residue that attracts dust.

    Periodically clean the interior and exterior surfaces of the door using a damp, soft cloth. Wipe dry with a clean soft cloth if necessary.

    Glass Doors

    You can use any commercial glass cleaner to clean the glass. Additionally, the glass can be cleaned while mounted on the door, or can be removed for better access.

    While cleaning mounted glass, be careful not to damage the finish of the door and cabinet parts while cleaning.

    To remove the glass panel, carefully loosen the screws and lift panel out. The door glass is tempered to resist chipping and shattering. However, all glass is fragile so handle carefully.

    Do not spray glass cleaner directly onto glass or cabinet parts. Glass cleaner seeping into areas behind the mullions may discolor the wood. Instead, spray a small amount of cleaner onto a lint-free cloth or paper towel, then wipe the glass.

  • I use TSP substitute powder (found at your local home improvement store) in a spray bottle mixed with water and a rag. Cleans grease right off with zero effort.

    Contact the company to be sure about what to use so you don't void any warranty.
