Winter Home Maintenance Tip
Your Cabinets: To maintain your cabinets, there are some things you'll need to do on a regular basis. Tighten knobs and pulls. Lubricate and adjust hinges. Lubricate and adjust drawer slides. A little squirt of WD-40 works well on metal guides. Use beeswax or paraffin if your drawers have wooden guides. If your cabinets look a bit rough, a fresh coat of paint or varnish can make your old cabinets look new, make them easier to take care for.
