Wooden cabinets are beautiful but delicate — and the wrong cleaning method can damage them. If you're wondering whether SHYN is safe to use on timber cabinetry, the answer is yes — but with care.
How to Clean Wooden Cabinets Using SHYN:
-
Yes, SHYN is safe to use on wooden cabinets — when applied correctly.
-
Never spray SHYN Degreaser directly onto wood. Always spray it onto a cloth first.
-
Apply the product using a cloth to avoid spray penetrating the lacquer or seal.
-
Use Magic Erasers sparingly — only on heavily dirty spots, and very gently.
-
Always remove product residue with a wet SHYN Ultimate Microfibre Cloth.
-
Finish with a SHYN Drying Cloth to leave a clean, streak-free finish.
-
If the cabinets aren’t very dirty, skip the product — just use a damp cloth.
Cleaning Method by Condition:
For Light Cleaning / Regular Upkeep:
-
Wet a SHYN Ultimate Microfibre Cloth with plain water.
-
Wipe the cabinet twice to lift dust and smudges.
-
Dry immediately using the SHYN Drying Cloth.
For Dirty or Greasy Cabinets:
-
Spray SHYN Degreaser onto a cloth (never onto the cabinet).
-
Gently wipe away grime and buildup.
-
If needed, use a Magic Eraser very gently on tough spots.
-
Wipe away all residue with a wet SHYN Ultimate Microfibre Cloth.
-
Finish with the SHYN Drying Cloth to prevent streaks and watermarks.
Important Tips for Wooden Surfaces:
-
Wood is often lacquered or sealed — too much product or moisture can damage it.
-
Never soak the surface — always wring out cloths well.
-
Be extra careful around edges and corners where water can seep in.
-
Avoid scrubbing — gentle is best for timber.
