Thermoplastic doors can be effortlessly cleaned using mild soap and water. However, in order to keep thermoplastic doors looking like new for years to come, it is imperative that the following precautions be taken.

1. Avoid the use of harsh chemicals such as bleach, lacquer thinner, or cleaners containing solvents or abrasives. Particularly avoid products using tolylene or acetone. Any cleaners containing solvents or abrasives will destroy the protective acrylic coating and the thermoplastic doors will discolour once exposed to ultraviolet rays.

2. Avoid exposing thermoplastic doors drawers to high heat. To ensure against damages to doors or drawers, please to following:

   • When broiling with the oven door, make sure to open all thermoplastic doors and drawers of nearby cabinets to minimize to high heat.
   • Since the doors seals on some ranges and ovens allow for high heat to escape during the self-cleaning cycle. Hence, as a precaution, open or remove all thermoplastic doors and drawers of nearby cabinets during the self-cleaning cycling.
   • Pay close attention to counter top appliances such as toasters, toaster ovens, and boilers that have the potential of producing high heat. High heat producing counter top appliances should not be directly under thermoplastic doors of overheated cabinets while in use.

3. Avoid burning or hitting the thermoplastic surface with sharp objects, as it could result in a permanent cut or indentation. In the event of mishandling, minor surface scratches can be removed depending on the severity of the damage. The follow options are recommended

   • Polish the area with a carnauba-based wax.
   • Rub the scratched area with a high grade polishing compound.
   • Various repair kits are available from paint companies specializing in touch up paints.
