CLEANING & MAINTENANCE GUIDES
FORMICA LAMINATE
ORDINARY CLEANING
Formica® Laminate is very easy to clean. In most cases, you only need to use a clean, damp, nonabrasive cotton
cloth and a mild liquid detergent or household cleaner. Rinse with clean water, using a clean, non-abrasive cotton
cloth. Do not flood the laminate, especially near seams, since water can penetrate and cause the substrate to swell.
Dry the surface with a soft, clean, non-abrasive cotton cloth.
ABRASIVES
Abrasive pads, scouring powders or cleaners may permanently dull and scratch the laminate surface making it
susceptible to staining. Ceramics, including unglazed materials and other abrasive objects, can cause scratching
and premature wear – do not slide these items across surface.
CHEMICAL DAMAGE
Never use cleaners containing acid, alkali, or sodium hypochlorite. These cleaners will mar, etch, corrode, and
permanently discolor the laminate surface. Also, make sure that bottles, rags, and other materials contaminated
with these cleaners never contact the laminate surface. Accidental spills or splatters from these compounds should
be wiped off immediately, and the area rinsed thoroughly with water.
RESIDUAL GLUE
Sometimes new decorative laminate has a streaky appearance caused by contact adhesive used during fabrication.
Clean with a non-abrasive cotton cloth and an adhesive solvent such as Formica® Brand Non-flammable Contact
Adhesive Solvent. Use solvent sparingly, as excessive amounts may delaminate edges. Read and follow all warnings
and instructions on the labels of all solvent products.
STAINS
To remove or minimize stains, use full strength Fantastik® All Purpose Cleaner, Formula 409®, Pine-Sol® (original
formulation) or other mild household cleaner on the affected area, and allow it to draw out the stain. Blot with a
clean, damp, non-abrasive cotton cloth, and then rinse with clean water. When a recommended cleaner changes its
formulation, the change may be harmful to the laminate surface. Formica Corporation cannot be held responsible
for these changes. Solvents such as denatured alcohol can also be used. Follow all directions and warnings on the
solvent label because many are extremely flammable.
For specifi c types of surfaces, use the following care guidelines:
MATTE FINISH LAMINATE (WALL PANELS)
Especially hard-to-clean areas may require special attention. Use a nylon bristled hand or vegetable brush, along
with a mild liquid detergent-and-water solution or household cleaner. Clean the soiled area using a rotating motion.
Rinse and dry the surface as indicated above.
HIGH GLOSS FINISH LAMINATES (RED TV WALL)
If residual streaks and smears remain after normal cleaning, use a mild glass cleaner and then dry with a clean, non-
abrasive cotton cloth. Avoid exterior glass cleaner.
