Cabinets FAQ
What should I know for general maintenance on my cabinet doors?
Always wipe up any spills or water splashes right away. You can dust your cabinets from time to time with a damp cloth or a spray duster.
What are the items I should never, ever use on my cabinet doors?
Make sure you avoid the following, which can destroy the topcoat stain or paint finish: scouring sponge pads, commercial cleaners, powdered cleansers, steel wool, silicone or petroleum spray polishes, and paste, wax, or silicone products.
What do I need to know about long term cabinet care?
Approximately 1–2 times per year, wash and polish your cabinet doors with a high quality, oil based furniture polish. Avoid using wax, paste, or silicone products as mentioned above.
Why should I avoid using wax, paste, petroleum, or silicone products?
These products leave a film and build up over time, attracting dust and dirt. They are also extremely hard to remove.

Countertop FAQ
How should I clean my quartz and granite countertops daily?
Aside from looking stunning, quartz and granite are super low maintenance. You can wash your counter tops with a mixture of warm water and a couple of drops of dish soap to remove the dirt and debris from the day.
Is there anything else I need to know about granite or quartz countertops? Can I cut on them or place my cooking pots on them?
While quartz and granite are extremely durable, it is always best to take proper care of them and avoid placing hot objects directly on them or cutting on them. Something else to remember is to clean up all spills right away to avoid staining.
What colors is granite available in?
KBD has an extensive selection of countertop colors. Ask one of our designers about our top 100 colors. For example — granite is available in black, brown, blue, beige, gold, off-white, and more. They all come with beautiful mineral streaks in them to provide a marbled look. Our various suppliers will have unique colors.
How is quartz different than granite?
Quartz is manufactured, whereas granite is not. With current demands for granite increasing, manufacturers have started mimicking the patterns and colors of granite.
