Laminate

GENERAL INFORMATION

FENIX NTM®; OTHER LAMINATES. Laminate is a multi-layer material with a wood grain appearance. Highly resistant to scratches, abrasion, dry heat, acid-based solvents and household chemicals. Laminate has a matte expression that is soft to the touch and easy to maintain.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Laminate does not require special maintenance. The anti-bacterial material is easy to clean and is resistant to mould and scratches.

CLEANING & STAIN REMOVAL

Clean daily with a damp cloth wrung in warm water. Fritz Hansen Laminate Cleaner and mild detergents are also suitable. Use a damp melamine sponge weekly to clean the surface, buff scratches and restore the matte finish.

For deeper cleaning, use a white melamine sponge and an acid-free kitchen surface cleaner. Work into the laminate in a circular motion, cleaning the entire surface area. Rinse thoroughly with a clean, damp microfibre cloth. For stubborn stains or ingrained dirt, use a dry melamine sponge first.

FENIX NTM®: Scratches can be removed by placing a slightly damp piece of paper towel on the affected area and ironing in circular motions for 8-10 seconds. Rinse thoroughly with a clean, damp microfibre cloth.

Remove stains and spills as quickly as possible, rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth to avoid water marks.

CAUTION

Although durable, never clean with abrasives, including steel wool and sandpaper. Avoid using cleaning products with a high acid or alkaline content as these may stain laminate. When using solvent-based cleaner, use a clean cloth to avoid leaving marks on surface of the laminate. Do not use furniture polish or wax-based cleaners, which trap dirt. Marks and spots will appear when exposed to high heat or certain liquids, including red wine. Always use coasters and trivets when placing objects on the surface, and clean laminate according to our care and maintenance instructions.
