This doesn\u2019t mean that it won\u2019t still need special cares to remain shiny and presentable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how do you properly maintain your laminate benchtop and prolong its lifespan? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not skip cleaning, that\u2019s lesson number one.

As a synthetic product, laminate is more cost-effective in comparison to materials like granite or marble. It is also considerably more durable and fairly resistant to staining.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is one catch, though. If not removed right away, certain liquids and food can permanently stain the material. This could be a real problem, especially for white and light-coloured laminate, as <strong>yellowing is possible over time<\/strong>. In addition, laminate could easily be damaged by sharp objects and hot ones, which are placed or dragged along the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t\t<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__title\">You may also like:<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__title -->\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__body\">\n\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"related-article__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/how-to-clean-a-kitchen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"How to Clean a Kitchen Thoroughly &#8211; Checklist\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/How-to-Clean-a-Kitchen-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"How to Clean a Kitchen Thoroughly\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5120px) 100vw, 5120px\" title=\"How to Clean a Kitchen Thoroughly\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure> <!-- \/.related-article__image -->\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__desc\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"badge-holder\">\n\t<span class=\"badge badge--\">Cleaning Guides<\/span>\n<\/div>  <!-- \/.badge-holder --> \n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/how-to-clean-a-kitchen\/\" class=\"short-text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"How to Clean a Kitchen Thoroughly &#8211; Checklist\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHow to Clean a Kitchen Thoroughly &#8211; Checklist\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__desc -->\n\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__body -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article -->\t\n\t<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"General_maintenance_tips\">General maintenance tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Laminate benchtops have a nice and shiny look which, unfortunately, won\u2019t last without your help. If you want to preserve the surface, here is what you need to remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Polish the laminate benchtop daily, especially after cooking or general use when staining is most probable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always wipe and dry the surface with a clean cloth, as excessive water can damage it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Steer clear of abrasive, wax-based or highly acidic types of cleaners.<\/strong> Definitely avoid bleach. Better rely on eco-friendly cleaners or even make one yourself by mixing soap, white vinegar and a bit of warm water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Stain_removal_solutions_for_laminate_benchtop\">Stain removal solutions for laminate benchtop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spills are impossible to avoid, but it\u2019s good that there are natural solutions to get even the most stubborn stains out. <strong>Keep in mind, though, that in case of severe damage to the material, getting the stains out may not be possible and investing in new laminate may be the only option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turmeric stains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Turmeric stains are among the toughest to beat. The yellow powder can colour just about anything and it doesn\u2019t need long to do it, too. <strong>To effectively remove turmeric stains from the kitchen countertop, you can try the following steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dilute baking soda in a bowl with a little bit of water. The quantity depends on the size of the stain you have to treat.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you have the white paste ready, use a towel or a sponge to apply it to the stained area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let it sit for <strong>15 to 20 min.<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start scrubbing gently and then wipe clean. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Baking soda has a whitening effect and can help you effectively remove other cooking marks from the stained laminate counter in no time.&nbsp;If the stain is still visible, try the same process a few more times, leaving the baking soda on for a while longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Greasy stains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If not cleaned properly, you risk spreading the grease all over the counter, making the surface look smudgy. Acidic cleaners break down these types of stains immediately and you have the best eco-friendly alternative right in your home. <strong>Freshly squeezed lemon juice, <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/cleaning-vinegar-vs-normal-vinegar-whats-the-difference\/\">white vinegar<\/a> or tea tree\/eucalyptus oil are some options you can test.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Option 1:<\/em><\/strong> Lemon or white vinegar can destroy grease build-up immediately and you can add warm water to the mixture for higher efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Option 2:<\/em><\/strong> Add 5-10 drops (the more drops, the stronger the cleaner) of tea tree or eucalyptus oil to a bowl of warm water. Take a microfibre cloth, dip it into the solution and clean the greasy area. You can use the same cleaning solution for general cleaning and polishing of the laminate countertop. The essential oils kill bacteria and evaporate within minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"check-price-box\">\n\t\t<div class=\"check-price-box__body\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"check-price-box__title\">Struggling with the stains in the kitchen?<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t<p class=\"check-price-box__desc\">We can make a difference with a specialsied deep cleaning!<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"form form--full-width form--check-price dynamic-helper\">\n    <form class=\"default-check-price-form\" action=\"\">\n        <div class=\"form__inner\">\n            <div class=\"form__field the-postfield-wrap\">\n                <span class=\"icon-holder\">\n                    <i class=\"icon-pointer\"><\/i>\n                <\/span>\n\n                <input class=\"field the-postfield\" type=\"text\" name=\"postcode-field\" placeholder=\"Enter your post code\" data-service-type=\"64\"\/>\n                <span class=\"focus-label\"><\/span>\n                <div class=\"field-error-msg\">Add a valid postcode e.g. 3000<\/div> <!-- \/.field-error-msg -->\n            <\/div> <!-- \/.form__field -->\n\n            <div class=\"form__btn submit-wrapper-with-loader active\">\n                <div class=\"load-holder-lds-eclipse\">\n                    <div class=\"load-lds-eclipse\"><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                <input class=\"btn btn--large checkpPricesSubmit\" name=\"check-prices-submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Get a quote\" rel=\"nofollow\" disabled\/>\n            <\/div> <!-- \/.form__btn -->\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.form__inner -->\n    <\/form>\n<\/div> <!-- \/.check-price-form -->\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget__body -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"check-price-box__img\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/fantasticservices-com-blog\/assets\/images\/check-price-box\/cleaner.png\" alt=\"Struggling with the stains in the kitchen?\"\/><\/noscript><\/div>\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget__img -->\n\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget card-widget--obf-form -->\n<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coffee or tea stains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s hard to imagine that enjoying a cup of your favourite hot drink in the morning can get you into cleaning troubles, but it happens. You can get coffee or tea stain out of the laminate benchtop quickly with two products:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hydrogen peroxide <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toothpaste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Apply a little bit of the toothpaste OR the hydrogen peroxide on a clean cloth and rub it into the stained area.

Microfibre cloth dipped in soap solution or even just plain water will be enough for cleaning dark-coloured materials. Take extra caution when testing other cleaning recipes on black or similar laminate.<\/p>\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note__body -->\n\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note -->\n<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wax stains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of trying to scrape the wax stain off with a knife and risk damaging the laminate surface, you can try a simple trick:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> Just take a blow dryer and melt the built-up wax until it\u2019s in its liquid form again.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Wipe it away quickly with paper before it gets hard again.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> If you still feel the surface is greasy or stained, then apply a cleaner directly, preferably one that contains ammonia.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paint and markers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Freshening up the kitchen\u2019s interior through painting is a great idea, however, it may have some unpleasant consequences. Paint stains are easy to spot on laminate and old stains can be a real challenge to get off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you need to do is determine the type of paint. Water-based paint is easy to erase with just a regular multi-purpose cleaner. To get tougher paint stains off laminate countertops, resort to products like a paint-removing solvent (paint thinner). As for marker stains, they can be treated directly with nail polish remover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"note note--warning\">\n\t\t<div class=\"note__icon\">\n\t\t\t<i class=\"icon-warning\"><\/i> <!-- \/.icon- -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note__icon -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"note__body\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>Nail polish remover and paint removal products have an aggressive formula taht should not be taken lightly, so always test on a small area first to see how it reacts with the surface.
