Mouser Custom Cabinetry manufactures the finest custom cabinetry available, cabinetry that will give you years of trouble-free service when it is installed and cared for as we recommend. Mouser's stained and solid color cabinetry is produced using the best finishing products available and are applied to select grades of solid woods, wood veneers, and MDF materials. Because our cabinetry is built from wood products, it should be cared for like wood furniture, even our solid color products. Our MDF door styles must be cleaned with products intended for wood. MDF is not a waterproof material. Even though it has the appearance of a laminate once it is finished, water will still penetrate through solid color material and cause the wood fibers to swell, particularly in profiled areas.

Finish - Mouser cabinets have a tough, durable catalyzed varnish finish which is highly resistant to moisture and household chemicals. We recommend you use Guardsman Furniture Polish at least monthly to keep your cabinets well protected and looking good. Guardsman Furniture Care Products are available from Mouser Custom Cabinetry, or their products can be found at local furniture stores or the housewares department of many discount stores. A Guardsman Furniture Care Guide can be found inside the "Use and Care Kit" that we ship with each complete cabinet order. To remove oil, grease or daily spills, use a clean, damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Do not use dishcloths, harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, spray cleaners, strong soaps or paste wax.

Hardware - Only top-quality decorative hardware is used on Mouser cabinets. Our hinging system allows you to easily adjust any door as required. Our drawer slide systems are designed to give you a lifetime of functionality.

Scratches, Chips, Dents - It's practically impossible to prevent scratches, chips and dents over years of use. Touch-up putty sticks and marking pens are available through your dealer to help you make minor repairs.

Proper Storage and Environmental Controls: Humidity - Wood is like a sponge. It can absorb moisture or dry out, depending on the environment. Excessive humidity can result in warpage and expanding of the wood. Also, a lack of sufficient humidity during the winter heating season can cause shrinkage of the wood. This is especially true on solid wood doors. We recommend a complete heating and cooling cycle to allow doors to adjust to your home's environment. It is important to control the humidity in your home all year round, especially if you have a fireplace or a wood stove. Mouser cabinetry is to be stored or installed in an environment with a constant Humidity level of 40% - 55%.

Caution!
Self-cleaning appliances generate intense heat during a cleaning cycle and the integrity of the appliance seal or gasket may be compromised with age, improper installation, etc. We recommend the removal of doors and/or drawers from cabinets adjacent to, or directly above, an appliance during a cleaning cycle to prevent possible finish or surface damage.
