Care & Handling

While other national cabinet companies have adopted faster automated sanding and spray techniques, Tharp still does it the old fashioned way- by hand. All Tharp stain applications incorporate multiple hand sanding operations and a seven step, hand-rubbed process for a beautiful, award winning finish. Proper care of your cabinet finish will ensure years of beauty.

Cleaning

• Always remove dust with a feather duster or soft cotton cloth prior to cleaning.
• Cabinet interiors: Non wood components can be cleaned with hot mild soapy water.
• Wood components: Use a lightly damp (never wet) clean towel or rag to remove grime/grease. Murphy’s soap or equivalent (must not contain waxes or silicone oils) mixed ten parts water to one can be used for heavier soiled cabinets. Do not use soaps, cleaners, solvents, waxes, ammonia, Windex or other household chemicals that contain alkaline. Please note: even overspray of these products can effect your finish.

Touch Up

Damage to most cabinet finishes (chips, dings, scratches) can be repaired by your local furniture repair company. If you want to repair minor damages yourself, Tharp sells matching touch up stain, markers, wax sticks, and finish putty from their showroom in Loveland, Colorado
