What causes water-damaged kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Because of their location, kitchen cabinets are susceptible to water damage from sinks and household appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers. The back wall of kitchen cabinets is often obscured by its contents, making it harder to detect <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-water-seeping-through-our-laminate-wood-floor.htm">water seeping through the floor</a> and into the unit from plumbing, window leaks, and broken appliances. When the water isn’t immediately dried and is left to sit there, it penetrates the cabinets and leaves them damaged.</p></div>

How are wall ovens measured?

• <div><p>Ovens are measured by the width, height, and depth of the overall oven (typically in inches). You’ll want to measure the oven not only for the final space it’ll be installed in but also to make sure all the openings in your home to get to your kitchen can accommodate its size.</p></div>

Q: Can my upper cabinets support the weight of new materials on top?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not usually a problem, although you may want to check the specifics of your cabinets first. A wall of kitchen cabinets can support about 600 pounds, including what&rsquo;s inside and anything resting on top. Keep that limit in mind when adding DIY shelves or d&eacute;cor to the tops of cabinets. If you are installing a new row of full cabinets, they&rsquo;ll typically have their own support mechanisms and the added weight will be minimal.</p></div>

Q: Do I need special tools for drawer construction?

• <div><p>Basic drawer construction requires standard tools, including a saw, drill, measuring tools, and clamps. Advanced joinery benefits from table saw or router capabilities. Most DIYers can complete simple drawers with tools they already own or can borrow.</p></div>

Q: Can I use vinegar to clean cabinets before sanding?

• <div><p>You should not clean cabinets with vinegar. While many homeowners think it is a natural cleaner, vinegar is a mild acid, not a degreaser. Since it does not cut through greasy grime, it won't effectively remove it from kitchen cabinets. For best results, use a degreasing cleaner designed for prep work, then rinse and dry thoroughly before sanding.</p></div>
