All laminate worktop surfaces are designed for easy maintenance and long life. Everyday stains such as coffee spills and finger marks clean up easily with a quick wipe with a damp cloth. Although laminates are exceptionally resistant to scratches and normal wear and tear, always use a cutting board when using sharp knives.

Cleaning Stains

Always start with the gentlest method.  If stains persist, try the following steps:

  1. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent.
  2. For difficult stains, use a mild household cleaner with a soft bristled brush.
  3. If stubborn stains remain, try a paste of baking soda or a non-scratch cleaner, scrubbing lightly with a soft bristled brush.

Handy Tips

For Work Surface Maintenence

  1. Never place hot pans or dishes directly onto the worktops. Instead, use a heat shield, hot pad or trivet to avoid blistering or cracking the laminate.
  2. Never use acidic or abrasive cleaners, or apply excessive scrubbing, especially on surfaces with a gloss finish.
  3. Never leave spills on the worktop including standing water. Immediately wipe up and rinse surfaces thoroughly after cleaning, especially after using any harsh chemical liquids such as oven cleaners and rust removers.
  4. Always use a chopping board or other worktop saver to cut objects rather than directly on the worktop.
  5. Never apply polish to laminated surfaces.
  6. We recommend not wearing a PVC apron as over time it can rub against the laminate causing a change in the texture/colour.
