In today’s COVID-19 world, production of disinfectant wipes has increased exponentially. People are using them on every surface, nook, and cranny in their homes and work spaces. The question is: Are they safe to use on your wood cabinets?
The answer: Yes! Just remember to follow some simple guidelines:
- Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth prior to
applying disinfectant. Dry with a separate soft cloth,
or allow to air dry.
- Apply disinfectant lightly, once surface has dried.
- Allow to dry for 15 seconds to 1 minute, then wipe with damp cloth. Do not allow chemical cleaner to stay on surface indefinitely.
- If mixing your own solution, NEVER apply straight bleach to any finished wood product. We recommend using 2 oz. of bleach to 1 gallon of water. Use a clean cloth soaked in solution and rung out. Apply, then wipe dry with clean, soft cloth.
