Care instructions for laminate worktops

Laminate is a hard-wearing and practical material that is easy to keep clean – day after day.

Heating

Not heat-resistant
Laminate is not heat-resistant. Always use trivets to protect the surface from damage.

Care

Low
Easy to clean on a day-to-day basis. A damp cloth is usually enough to keep the surface looking neat.

Abrasion resistance

Medium
The surface is hard-wearing under normal use, but always use a chopping board to protect both the worktop and your kitchen utensils.

Resistance strength

Low
Avoid strongly colouring liquids and grease, as the surface is more susceptible to stains and discolouration.

Daily cleaning

Daily cleaning is easily done with a damp, clean cloth.

Avoid excessive use of washing-up liquid or detergent, as this can leave a greasy surface.

A mild all-purpose cleaner can be used for more stubborn dirt.

Foods that stain heavily should be removed as soon as possible, as these can cause discolouration.

A greasy surface can be removed using HORN Laminate Cleaner in its concentrated form.

Thorough cleaning with HORN Laminate Cleaner

1. Apply the laminate cleaner evenly to the surface using a cloth.

2. Leave it to work for 3–5 minutes.

3. Spread the product using a cloth or soft sponge. Take care with rough and matt finishes – do not apply pressure, but simply move the sponge across the surface.

4. Remove all traces of Laminate Cleaner with a damp cloth. Wipe 3–5 times with clean water.

5. Wipe the surface dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.

Repeat steps 1–5 until the worktop is thoroughly clean.

AVOID

To avoid damaging the worktop or causing scratches, we advise against using abrasive cleaning products such as scouring powder, steel wool or corrosive cleaning agents. These can damage the surface.

We recommend using a chopping board to protect the worktop.
