Care & Maintenance

Routine Care
To clean the surface, use a damp cloth or sponge and a mild soap or detergent. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry.

Difficult stains such as coffee or tea can be removed using a mild household cleaner/detergent and a soft bristled brush, repeating as necessary.

Warning
Prolonged exposure of the laminate surface to bleach will cause discoloration. Hot pans and heat-producing appliances (such as electric skillets), when set directly upon countertops, could irreversibly damage the surface. Always use a heat shield, hot pad or trivet.

A few notes of caution

  • Acidic or abrasive cleaners can damage laminate surfaces; do not use them.
  • Never place pots or dishes directly from the oven or burner on an unprotected laminate surface; such extreme heat can cause cracking or blistering.
  • Do not work with oven cleaners on an unprotected countertop. Wipe spills away promptly
    and rinse several times with water.
  • Rust removers contain harsh chemicals which will quickly cause permanent damage.
    If a spill occurs, wipe off all residue immediately, wash thoroughly with soapy water and
    rinse several times.
  • Don’t use them for cleaning and don’t store steel wool pads on your
    countertop; the metal can rust and leave stains.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools.
  • Avoid using sharp tools or abrasive products such as steel scrubbers when cleaning them.
  • Keep laminate furniture away from direct sunlight to avoid discoloration.
  • Do not use excessive water or leave water on your laminates for an extended period of time.
