Cleaning and maintenance of laminated panels
Any adhesive material that might remain after panel installation can be removed with an adhesive solvent. It is not recommended to continuously use a solvent to clean the panels. Laminated panels can easily be cleaned with water and soap using a non-abrasive rag. Coffee, tea or other type of more difficult stains can be removed by using a light soap, it is important to not scrub any surfaces for more than 10 or 20 times as it can damage the panel finishes. It is important not to use any chemical products nor any abrasive cleansers. If the panel finish came in contact with any such cleaning product rinse and dry immediately. Abrasive brushes or tampons can scratch the finish or remove some of its luster while creating the possibility for additional stains to appear. The panel finish can also be damaged if pointed objects or knifes of any kind are used directly on it.
