# Door Care

Published 2026-09-06

Kitchen doors are supplied in four surfaces and each one is looked after differently. The guidance below is grouped by the material printed on the range listing.

## Timber

It is advisable to use a damp (not wet) cloth to remove fingerprints and marks, followed at once with a clean and dry soft cloth. Cooking splashes should be wiped up immediately using a damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaners, bleach or other chlorine based cleaners, multipurpose cleaners, dilutes, acetone, alcohol, solvent or similar products on the door, as this will damage the surface.

Broadoak Sanded and Eden Sanded are supplied unfinished, so care of these doors depends on the type of finish applied, for example paint, stain or wax.

Newly plastered rooms should be left to environmentally stabilise before storage and installation of doors.

## Vinyl

For product cleaning use only a solution of 5% liquid soap and 95% water, wiping with a damp (not wet) cloth and finally drying with a soft clean cloth. Dust with a soft cloth only.

Do not use wax furniture polish, abrasive or aggressive cleaners, bleach or other chlorine based cleaners, multipurpose cleaners, dilutes, acetone, alcohol, solvent or similar products on the door, as this will damage the surface.

If the doors are supplied with a protective film on the face they must not be directly exposed to sunlight. It is recommended the film is removed as soon as possible.
