Kitchen Worktop
Ask a Question
I bought a new kitchen not a long time ago and unfortunately it is already damaged, we had some decoration done and the dust from the air is on the surfaces. I tried to remove it with hot water but I don't think it is going to disappear. Any products in the market to treat laminate?
You could try Cif, it’s slightly abrasive but works wonders on my kitchen tops. No need for scouring pad just squeeze a little on a cloth. Good luck.
For most stains on laminate I use neat thick household bleach, just spread it on (perhaps with sponge). Leave for a while (perhaps twenty minutes) then wipe/polish off with a damp cloth or sponge. If you get the bleach on skin wash off as soon as possible. (and don't splash your clothes).
Might add: NEVER try to remove rust stains with bleach - bleach will actually fix a rust stain making it permanent. (can be good to know if you want to get creative on fabrics with rusty washers or nails etc).
In my kitchen we needed to put some new cable behind the wall and had to remove a few tiles. It left dust everywhere and it took a few days to get rid of all the dust from my worktops. Try a light steam clean on the surface or any cleaning product.
For the dust you used need to keep wiping it away until it is gone. For the stains try something like elbow grease or the pink stuff, they both do a cream cleaner that is brilliant for removing stains.
Thanks, in the end used soapy water a few times and it disappeared, hope it doesn't come back as when it is wet you can't notice it.
