Scheduled cleaning will benefit and extend the long-lasting aesthetics of the finish.
This procedure is an integral part of the warranty given for surface finish and color retention and it will minimize the weathering effect of dirt and other airborne pollutants which tend to accumulate on the surface of the coating, dulling its appearance.
We suggest the following guidelines:
Scheduled bi-annually cleaning of the coating with warm water and mild detergent solution (use as recommended) and the use of a non-abrasive brush or sponge.
To avoid possible staining, the temperature of the surface to be cleaned should not exceed 85°F (30°C).
For removal of oil and grease, mineral spirits and isopropyl alcohol can be used.
The cleaning solution should not be allowed to be in contact with the powder coated surface for more than 30 minutes.
Do not use any chlorides or quaternary salts on the cabinetry.
Do not use any hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) on cabinetry.
After cleaning, the surface should be completely rinsed with clean fresh water.
A record of all cleaning schedules, frequencies and products should be kept and documented.
Internal Component Maintenance:
In salt-air environments, regularly rinse and clean stainless-steel hinges, drawer slides and handles with water.
Rust speckling is normal in salt-air environments and only occurs on the surface of our 304 stainless-steel components. If it occurs, simply clean stainless-steel surfaces with a light abrasive pad to remove the surface discoloration.
Dekton Countertop Maintenance:
Please take extra care when cleaning your countertop. Although solvents such as acetone are often recommended by counter manufacturers and fabricators, these substances will damage the powder-coated finish of your Urban Bonfire cabinetry. We recommend using standard detergent when cleaning your countertop.
