			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1381" title="dusting cabinets" src="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/dusting-cabinets.jpg" alt="dusting cabinets" width="315" height="232" />Wood kitchen cabinets are a classic and provide a good return on investment. So if you’re thinking about installing wood kitchen cabinets or trying to figure out how to keep your current ones clean, check out the following tips to keep them looking like new.</p>
<ol>
<li>Don’t Use Abrasive Cleaners – wood kitchen cabinets are durable but they should be cleaned with care. Make sure you don’t use abrasive cleaners that can easily scratch wood. Instead, opt for gentler cleaners or try an organic and environmentally-friendly solution: vinegar and water.</li>
<li>Don’t Forget Cabinet Hardware – kitchen cabinet hardware can have dust and grime build-up too. To keep hardware parts looking like new and in working order, use soap and water on a soft cloth and wipe clean. Frequently doing this prevents future build-up.</li>
<li>Dusting – frequent dusting saves you from major cleaning jobs in the future. Dust that is occasionally wiped away with a soft cloth won’t lead to tough to remove grime over time.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lyptus can be the perfect selection for kitchen cabinet material if you are looking for something sustainable and beautiful.  Similar in hardness to cherry, mahogany, and oak, lyptus is a hybrid eucalyptus wood with a tight grain pattern.  It is also considered sustainable because it is a hybrid wood which can be harvested at 15 years and regenerates itself from the remains of the harvested trees.</p>
<h3>Lyptus Is a Brazilian Plantation-Grown Hardwood</h3>
<p>Similar in coloring and graining of mahogany with tone variations ranging from pink to dark red, Lyptus readily accepts staining as well as other types of finishing processes.  If you want beautiful kitchen cabinetry but are concerned with the environmental aspects of forest harvesting, Lyptus cabinets could be the perfect material choice for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-397" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;" title="dkr_041" src="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/dkr_041.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="143" />Most people would like to remodel their kitchen after years of use.  Though it is a good proposition, it can be a very costly one too.  One way to reduce the cost is to replace the doors and repaint the cabinets to suit the door colors.</p>
<p>There are plenty of different types of cabinet doors from which to choose. People who have the opinion that there is no match for real wood should go for wooden cabinet doors.  Wood is always stylish, beautiful and durable, and wood comes in a variety of finishes.</p>
<p>There are different types of wooden doors like square type, crown type, double crown, arch type, shaker style, raised type, flat type, etc.  These cabinet doors are available in woods like cherry, maple, oak, hickory, birch etc.</p>
<p>Wood has a natural grain in it which can be either open grain or closed grain.  For instance, a door made of maple wood has closed grain whereas a door made of red oak will have open grains.  These wooden doors need no painting as this will mar the natural wooden appearance.</p>
