Part of keeping your laminate benchtops in great condition is knowing what to use and not to use when cleaning those surfaces. The following tips are designed to help. 

• Do not use abrasive cleaning products (Gumption, Jiff, Ajax, Bicarb etc…) or scouring cloths as they will damage the surface.
• Do not place hot objects, electrical appliances or pots straight from the oven or cooker onto your Laminex laminate surface.
• Do not cut on the Laminex laminate surface.
• Keep waxes and polishes well away as they dull the natural shine.
• Do not use strong acidic cleaners, strong alkaline cleaners or bleach for cleaning as these might etch the surface.

GENERAL CARE – STREAKS

Streaky marks sometimes show on dark colours after cleaning. An all-purpose cleaner such as Windex spray cleaner or Spray n Wipe usually removes these streaks.

GENERAL CARE – GREASE

Use a mild dishwashing detergent in water to remove greasy marks. Dab, wait then wipe away. Finish with an all-purpose cleaner such as Windex spray cleaner or Spray n Wipe.

GENERAL CARE – SPILLS

Laminate surfaces resist staining from most household products. However, prompt action is essential with some accidental spills. Wipe off beetroot, grape and berry juices, first aid preparations, concentrated bleach, oven cleaners, dishwasher detergents, artificial dyes, hair colouring and solvent based pen ink etc, IMMEDIATELY.
