Caring For Those Special Surfaces
Many of our clients frequently ask how to properly
care for their countertops and floors. So here are a few
tips just for you…
Laminate Counters:
DO use a nonabrasive, all-purpose cleaner.
Rinse with water, use cotton cloth to dry. Wipe up
immediately to prevent discoloration.
DON’T flood the laminate. Water penetrates
seams, causing swelling. Don’t use abrasive cleaners,
steel wool or scouring pads. Cleaners with acid will
cause permanent discoloring.
Laminate Floors
DO wipe floors with a damp cloth or sponge.
DON’T wet mop or pour water on floor. Don’t
wax, sand or stain.
Ceramic Tile:
DO use nonabrasive, all-purpose cleaners, a
tub/tile/sink cleaner or liquid cleanser. Rinse
thoroughly with water and buff tiles with dry cloth to
prevent water stains. Re-apply grout sealer every 5-10
years.
DON’T use powdered abrasive cleaners that may
scratch the surface.
Solid Surface Counters and Sinks:
DO use a nonabrasive all-purpose cleaner and a
damp cloth on matte, satin or high gloss finishes. A
scouring pad will remove cigarette burns and minor
scratches.
DON’T use strong chemical cleaners such as
toilet bowl cleaners, ceramic cooktop
cleaners, paint remover, drain cleaners, oven cleaners
and lacquer thinners.
Natural Stone:
DO place coasters under glasses, and wipe up
spills immediately. Use entry rugs to
capture abrasive dirt from foot traffic. Wash with warm
water, a neutral pH cleaner and a nonabrasive cloth.
