How to Care for Your Countertops
Proper cleaning and care of your countertop is essential. By following these simple guidelines, your countertops can last for many years.
- In most cases a non-abrasive cloth with soap and water will clean the surface;
- Avoid liquids, especially near mitres, joints or sink cut outs, because they can cause glue failure and lead to swelling of the particle board sub-surface;
- Use a nylon bristle brush and soap to remove any residual dirt then rinse and dry;
- Never use abrasive brushes, cleaners or cloths, or any cleaners that contain bleach, acid, alkali or sodium hypochlorine;
- If stain remains, please check with manufacturer;
- Do not cut directly on your countertop as scratches will occur;
- Do not put hot items directly on the countertop, especially over laminate joints, please use a trivet;
