Product Cleaning Guide
Laminate Countertops
• To clean the surface, 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 (approx. 15-20 strokes) the affected area. Do not scrub so as to
mar (damage, scratch) the surface finish
• 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

*WARNING: Prolonged exposure of the laminate surface to bleach will cause discoloration. Always rinse laminate surfaces after cleaning! Failure to rinse after cleaning can cause damage; even if a small amount of cleaning solution remains on the surface. A dry residue may be invisible; however, moisture from cups or drinks can reactivate it, and result in permanently etched scars or stains over time.
