Countertops & cabinets

Plastic laminates :

To assure the long-lasting beauty of your countertops we recommend the following:

1. Hot pans or activated electrical appliances should not be placed on laminated surfaces; use
   protective insulating pads.
   
   
2. Abrasive cleaners or steel wool should never be used.
   
   
3. Common household bleach should not be allowed to remain on the surface.
   
   
4. Do not use the surface as an ashtray or cutting board.
   
   
5. Avoid a concentration of water or wet cloths at or near the juncture of the countertop and back
   splash or other joints.
   
   
6. Clean with a damp soapy cloth - for stubborn stains use a household cleaner, rinsing thoroughly with clear water.
   
   
7. Polish occasionally with glass wax, or liquid car polish to mask superficial scratche

Manufactured marble :

Sinks and countertops made of manufactured marble are durable but require the same general care as for plastic laminates. As for any highly polished surface the use of abrasive cleaners is to be avoided as should most chemical preparations.

Cabinets :

Treat your kitchen cabinets as you would any fine piece of furniture. Any grease that splatters on them should be wiped off immediately.

If the cabinets are finished with a plastic laminate the instructions outlined in Plastic Laminates apply.
