High-definition laminate countertops give you the sleek look of natural stone but at a fraction of the cost—no wonder they're a hit in kitchens everywhere. Maintaining them, however, can bring up a few questions. How do you keep them looking new without causing damage? Are there any cleaners you should avoid?
If you’re unsure, it’s always a good idea to reach out to a kitchen renovation contractor for some expert advice. In the meantime, here are some top tips to keep your HD laminate countertops looking as shiny and new as the day they were installed.
Maintaining your high-definition laminate countertops doesn't need to be a chore or a bore. Here’s what you can do to maintain their pristine appearance:
Now, onto what not to do—because even countertops have their limits. First and foremost, never use your countertop as a cutting board. It might seem like a siren calling your knives to its surface, but resist! Scratches are the first step down the path to dullness and despair for your countertop's appearance.
Avoid placing hot pots directly from the stove or oven onto the laminate. High heat can lead to unsightly blisters that no amount of magic eraser can fix. Think of it like sunbathing without sunscreen—a definite no-no. Always use trivets or hot pads; consider them the sunscreen for your countertop.
Lastly, don't let spills sit. Red wine, beet juice, or even your morning coffee can be nefarious when left unattended. They might start as a small spill but can end as a permanent reminder of that one time you didn't act quickly enough.
