FORMICA CARE & MAINTENANCE
Do not use over-the-counter cleaners that contain strong acids (e.g. cleaners for tile, grout, ceramic stove tops, toilet bowls, etc.). We recommend using either Countertop Magic or Plexus as polishes you can put on your Solid Surface countertop to enhance the shine. You may also use Hope's Solid Surface Cleaner & Polish.
NORMAL CLEANING. LIGHT COLORS WITH A MATTE OR SATIN FINISH:
Formica Solid Surfacing is nonporous and can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth or sponge and mild detergents or general purpose cleaner such as Mr. Clean or Lestoil. If you have a Matte finish, abrasive cleansers like Ajax or Comet may also be used. Periodically, it may also be helpful to go over the entire surface with an abrasive cleanser or a wet 7447 Scotch-Brite pad (if Matte finish) or a wet 7448 Scotch-Brite pad (if Satin finish) to maintain a uniform appearance. Rinse with water and towel dry.
NORMAL CLEANING. DARK COLORS WITH A SEMI-GLOSS OR GLOSS FINISH:
Dark colors usually have a higher gloss than a Matte finish. Maintenance is generally limited to wiping with a mild detergent on a damp cloth and wiping dry.
SOME SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS:
Do not place hot pans directly from the burner or oven on the countertop surface. Even though Formica Solid Surfacing can withstand up to 175º F, prolonged or extreme heat could cause damage to the surface. A trivet should always be used under all heated appliances, such as crock pots, electric fry pans, coffee pots, etc. Extreme temperature swings should be avoided. When pouring hot water (from boiling pasta, potatoes, etc.) into sink, always run warm water to reduce temperature extremes.
Do not use your countertop as a cutting board. Although minor cuts and scratches on a matte finish can be repaired by the consumer, deep cuts and high gloss finished tops will require the service of a professional, which is an extra expense. (An extra piece of Formica Solid Surfacing from your fabricator makes an excellent cutting board to protect your counter.) Do not stand or sit on your countertop.
SPILLS AND STAINS:
While most everyday spills can be removed with the cleaning techniques listed, some troublesome spills and stains such as food dye, tea and fruit drinks may require more aggressive cleaning. These items can be removed using full strength bleach for two to five minutes, followed by a general cleaner and flushing with water. On Matte finish, if you prefer you can scrub with an abrasive cleanser. Even nail polish can be removed with nail polish remover or an abrasive cleanser.
Strong acids such as those found in drain, toilet bowl and oven cleaners should be used cautiously around Formica Solid Surfacing. If these items are accidentally spilled, wipe them up at once and rinse with water. Some of these items, if left on the surface, may cause whitening, which can be difficult to remove.
