Cabinets can really vary according to the type of finish which is applied to them originally assuming they are wood stained and clear finished with some type of varnish.
Depending on the preference of the cabinet shop where they were originally constructed, the wood cabinets were probably sprayed with either a polyurethane or lacquer based finish. Whatever method you use, try it first on a non conspicuous area like the inside of a door etc. This way if you get a reaction, it will not ruin your cabinet finishes.
As suggested in a previous post, Murphy's oil soap can be a good solution. My favorite and the safest is Johnson's paste wax (not car wax) which can be purchased in a hardware store or lumber yard (big box) like Menard's, Lowes, or Home Depot.
I would avoid applying additional finish such as Thompson's Water Seal or Polyurethane unless you are completely sure of not having a conflict.
And yes, I am a retired cabinet maker and cabinet shop owner with over 35 years of experience.
