Cleaning new cabinets

10 years ago

Hello. New wood cabinets were just installed. We want to wipe down before moving in any dishes. Any recommendations for appropriate cleaning materials? Are we okay with cotton rags, dish soap and water or should I use microfiber or something else? Want to make sure that I'm not accidentally using something that will scratch or leave film. Thanks!

Damp microfiber and that's it.

Yep, that's it. Just as a reminder, you shouldn't use furniture polish on your wood cabinets. My cabinet maker told me that it can affect the lacquer finish.
