Cleaning Tips
Laminate countertops are easy to clean. Just use a damp cloth or sponge and a mild soap or detergent. Difficult stains such as coffee or tea can be removed using a mild household cleaner and baking soda; mixing to achieve a paste consistency. Use a stiff nylon bristle brush, scrubbing.
Since Laminate countertops are vulnerable to scratches, cuts and heat, using a cutting board or trivet is recommended. Proper care must be taken to clean wine or other stain-causing liquids quickly, as they can discolor the surface.
Stubborn stains that resist any of the above cleaning methods may require the use of undiluted household bleach or nail polish remover. Use a cotton ball saturated with bleach or nail polish remover (acetone), gently rub the stain for up to two minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry using a soft cloth. This step may be repeated if the stain appears to be going away and the color of the laminate has not been affected.
