Formica Laminate was designed for beauty and durability. Like many other surface materials, it can be damaged by abuse and carelessness. But, when used appropriately with proper use and care, the product will last you for years-- some of you may even still have it in your home that was built in the 50's, 60's and 70's. It was probably one of the most common countertop materials selected by homeowners, because much like then, it is still a cost effective material that is simply stunning!

Here are some ways you can care for your laminate countertop.
(this information can be found on Formica.com)
SCRATCH & IMPACT PROTECTION
Formica Brand Laminate and ColorCore2 surfacing material are
resistant to scratches and impacts under normal use conditions.
 |
| 3420-46 Dolce Vita in Etchings™ finish with Bullnose IdealEdge |
• Do not chop, slice, pound, or hammer on any laminate surface.
• Knives or other sharp utensils may slice or scratch the surface.
• Heavy blows from a hammer or meat tenderizer may crack or gouge the surface.
• Use place mats, doilies, and trivets on laminate surfaces when necessary.
• Ceramics and abrasive objects can cause scratching and premature wear – do not slide these items across surface.
Follow recommendations for cleaning – do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, sandpaper, or Scotch-Brite® scouring pads.
HOT OBJECTS
Cookware still hot from the stove, oven or microwave, as well as
electric skillets, waffle irons, curling irons and hot rollers, should
not be placed directly on laminate surfaces. Prolonged exposure
to temperatures of 140°F (60°C) or higher may cause the laminate
to separate from the core material. Use a trivet, insulated hot pad or other protective device beneath all hot cookware, heat generating appliances, or other heated objects.

| 3457 Breccia Paradiso with Bullnose IdealEdge |
• Formica Brand Laminate and ColorCore2 surfacing
material can withstand heat up to 275°F (135°C) for short periods of time.
• Avoid ironing or placing a hot iron on laminate surfaces.
• Do not place lighted cigarettes directly on laminate surfaces
ORDINARY CLEANING
• In most cases, you only need to use a clean, damp, non-abrasive cotton cloth and a mild detergent or household cleaner.• Rinse with clean water, using a clean, non-abrasive cotton cloth.
• Do not flood the laminate, especially near seams, since water
can penetrate and cause the substrate to swell.
• Dry the surface with a soft, clean, non-abrasive cotton cloth.
