Be sure to read and follow the recommended care and cleaning procedures.

Laminate Panels

To clean the surface, use a damp cloth or sponge and a mild soap or detergent. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry.  Difficult stains such as coffee or tea can be removed using a mild household cleaner/detergent and a soft bristled brush, repeating as necessary.

If a stain persists, use a paste of baking soda and water and apply with a soft bristled brush. Light scrubbing for 10 to 20 strokes should remove most stains. Although baking soda is a low abrasive, excessive scrubbing or exerting too much force could damage the decorative surface, especially if it has a gloss finish.

Stubborn stains that resist any of the above cleaning methods may require the use of undiluted household bleach or nail polish remover. Apply the bleach or nail polish remover to the stain and let stand no longer than two minutes. Rinse well with warm water and wipe dry using a soft cloth. Take care not to rub too thoroughly to not affect the color of the laminate.  This step may be repeated if the stain appears to be going away and the color of the laminate has not been affected.

NOTE: Bleach may cause discoloring. To prevent discoloring all residue of bleach must be rinsed off surface. Residue left on surface will react when moisture forms and will permanently damage the surface over time. Avoid powdered abrasives or other harsh cleansers.
