Our laminate kitchen worktops are some of our most popular products here Savoy Timber. They’re a great choice for many homeowners due to their affordability, durability, and versatility. However, like any other type of kitchen worktops, they require a little maintenance to ensure they remain in good condition and last for many years. Don’t worry though – we’ve got you covered. Here are some top tips that you can use to effectively maintain your laminate kitchen worktops.
Spills from food, drinks, and other liquids can stain your laminate worktops if left uncleaned for too long. Therefore, it’s essential to clean spills immediately with a damp cloth or sponge and mild soap. It’s also best to avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads, as these can scratch the surface of the laminate, which is even more unsightly than a stain! To make things a little easier, maybe consider placing some hand towels over your worktops while cooking particularly messy dishes to help reduce the amount of stains that could potentially land on the surface of your worktops.
Although laminate worktops are durable, they can be scratched by knives and other sharp objects. To prevent scratches, it’s always best to use cutting boards when preparing any food. Using a chopping board is also a really important part of kitchen hygiene. Not using a chopping board when handling raw meat and fish risks contaminating your laminate surfaces with all sorts of bacteria such as E. coli, salmonella, shigella, campylobacter, norovirus and hepatitis A. Some of these bacteria can actually be deadly in rare cases, so be sure to clean your chopping boards thoroughly after use, or there’s a small chance you’ll be risking more than an upset stomach!
Our laminate worktops are completely water resistant, but extreme heat can burn their surfaces. So, avoid placing hot pans and pots directly on them at all costs! Instead, use trivets or heat-resistant mats to protect the surface, and you’ll ensure that your laminate kitchen worktops remain free from burn marks. While we’re on the topic of protecting your surface – try to avoid dragging heavy objects across the surface of your worktops, as this can scratch or damage them. Instead, lift and place heavy objects gently on to your surface (making sure they’re not too hot first!).
By following these top tips, you can ensure that your laminate kitchen worktops remain in tip-top condition for many years. If you’re yet to experience the functional and aesthetically pleasing benefits that laminate kitchen worktops can offer you, then you’re in exactly the right place to get some.
