Heat
Although laminates are tested to a temperature of 180 degrees care should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Objects such as oven-hot pans and dishes should not be taken from direct heat and placed directly on the laminate. Burning cigarettes should never be left on the surface. This information will assist in ensuring that surfaces faced with poly grey high-pressure decorative laminate will give good service for many years.
Polish
Polish should not be applied to the surfaces, since it can lead to smearing and marking,particularly on horizontal surfaces.
Scratching
Scraping with sharp edges should be avoided and objects with rough or uneven bases can cause scratches if allowed to slide across the surface. Food should not be chopped on a working surface; the use of a chopping board will prevent permanent damage.
Cleaning
Wipe with a damp cloth or a cloth dipped in mild detergent and water. Clean with washing powder or bleach.Use a melamine sponge with water and wipe but do not scrub too heavily, as that can cause changes in the sheen of HPL products.Remove with an organic solvent such as methylated spirits, acetone, benzene, and nail varnish remover.
