Since no two trees are alike in grain or texture, "Nature's fingerprint" is never the same in two pieces of wood. Therefore, variations in color and grain are natural characteristics of all cabinet woods. At Riviera, we stain our cabinets to obtain as constant a tone as possible without disturbing the interest and charm that these grain structures and textures contribute to the distinctive beauty of the cabinets, whatever their use. Our finish protects the wood and brings out the full beauty and depth of the wood. Please try the following suggestions on care to maintain them.

A. Immediately after installation, wipe the cabinets with a soft cloth dampened with water. Dry immediately with another clean, soft cloth.

B. Regular Cleaning. This requires only a rubbing with a damp cloth and drying. Remove oil, grease or the general soil of daily use with a clean cloth dampened with a fresh solution of mild soap and water. Rinse with a clean cloth dampened with clean water and dry thoroughly.

C. Nicks and Scratches. Cover them with a wood tone putty stick. Excess moisture is one of the worst enemies of any finish. Sink, range, dishwasher, oven and baseboard areas are most susceptible. Dry off any wet areas with a clean cloth where water may have spilled.

D. Do NOT Use citrus based cleaners, harsh detergents, strong soaps, abrasive cleaners or self-polishing waxes. These may have a damaging effect on your finish.

E. Do not use your dish cloth to clean or dry your cabinets. It may contain remnants of detergents and grease.
