CARE AND MAINTENANCE FOR LAMINATE BENCH TOPS

Clean down regularly with warm water and dishwashing detergent. Use Ajax Spray & Wipe to remove occasional stains.

Stubborn stain should be removed by wetting the surface with a solution of 3 parts water to 1 part Janola, leave for 5 minutes then scrub with a nylon bristle brush. DO NOT : use abrasive cleaners on the laminate surface.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE FOR MELTRIM DOORS AND DRAWER

Keeping your Melteca or Melamine surfaces clean is simple. Regular cleaning involves a mere wipe with a clean, damp cloth.

Stubborn Grease and Grime: To clean off grimy film, use diluted vinegar and water or Selley's Sugar Soap.

Spills and Stains: The most important thing is to catch the stain early. Wiping it with hot soapy water is the first thing to try. However, for tougher stains we recommend trying:

Wine - hot soapy water
Rust - diluted vinegar or lemon juice
Shoe polish - diluted vinegar or lemon juice
Oven cleaner - hot soapy water
Tea - all-purpose surface cleaner
Foodstuffs - all-purpose surface cleaner
Fabric dye - cold water, wipe dry, then use methylated spirits
Felt pen - methylated spirits or acetone
Paint/glue - acetone
Heavy wax and grease - xylene
Hair/leather dye - methylated spirits

After using the solutions recommended above, always wipe with a damp cloth, then a dry cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners, wire wool scourer pads, copper cleaner pads or sandpaper on your Melteca or Melamine surfaces. We also recommend caution in using bleach and alcohol-based cleaners. Diluted bleach (1 part bleach/ 3 parts water).

Never use the following: Abrasive cleaners, scourer pads, wire wool, sand paper, or solvents and thinners.
