Laminate Care and Maintenance
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.
Veneer Care and Maintenance
We recommend dusting frequently with a lint free cloth. (ALWAYS RUB WITH THE GRAIN) If wet cleaning is necessary use a wax base product. Blot spills immediately to prevent discoloration. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading. Avoid direct contact with heating and air conditioning vents to prevent moisture changes. Always use a coaster for both hot and cold beverages. Be aware that certain felts and plastics used can bleed through the finish.
