Keeping your melamine surfaces clean is easy. Regular cleaning simply involves wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
Stubborn grease and grime
To clean off grimy film, use diluted vinegar and water or Selley's Sugar Soap.
Spills and stains
The most important thing is to catch the stain early. Wiping it with warm soapy water is the first thing to try.
While thermoform doors and panels are water resistant, they aren’t water proof. Care should be taken to ensure that they don’t have excessive exposure to water, steam or extreme humidity. Care should also be taken to protect doors from high temperatures - such as hot implements or heat leaks from faulty appliances. Generally you should clean doors with a warm damp cloth which has had the excess water wrung out of it, and remove any moisture remaining after
cleaning with a dry cloth.
Never use the following on your doors
abrasive cleaners, Janola or similar, scourer pads, wire wool, sand paper, or solvents and thinners.
Wood veneer surfaces
requires a little extra care.
Dusting
Use only a soft dry cloth or feather duster.
Polishing
Use a high quality furniture polish (non-silicone based) with a soft cloth.
Spillages
should be cleaned with a damp cloth as soon as possible, moisture may cause damage to the coating. Do not allow nail polishes and removers, personal deodorants, perfumes, aftershave lotions, soaps etc to come into contact with the lacquer.
Dirty or Greasy Marks
After wiping with a dry cloth, persistent marks may be moved by mild, non-abrasive cleaner appropriate to the surface finish. Do not use "spray and wipe" solutions or excessive force when removing marks.
Direct Sunlight - should be avoided on all internal veneered surfaces as fading, bleaching or colour changes of the surface coating may occur.
