Cleaning and Maintenance of Compact Laminate

Compact laminate is engineered to last for many years. We provide a 10 year guarantee on panel integrity. It is resistant to everyday wear and tear but needs some attention for harsh conditions and staining.

Never use any of the following on Compact Laminate

• Abrasive cleaners such as Jif Cream Cleanser, Ajax (powder or liquid), Chemco, Brasso, Mr. Muscle oven cleaner, Scrub free.
• Neat Janola or other equivalent brands of bleaches.
• Scourer pads, Wire wool or Sandpaper.
• Any strong mineral acid such as sulphuric acid, Battery acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid or phosphoric acid.
• Any product containing strong mineral acids such as commercial toilet cleaners, grout removers, descalants, rust removers, etc.
• Care must be taken where cleaning agents or solvents are highly acidic or alkaline as these may permanently damage the surface.

Other Tips:

• In harsh environments (e.g. coastal), the use of CRC or equivalent on hinges and indicator bolts is recommended.
• An occasional re-finish of the exposed edges with an "off the shelf" wood-polish will rejuvenate the original polished seen edges.
