How to take care of laminate countertops

Article Category: Real Estate

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

Laminate Kitchen countertops are often considered when an inexpensive countertop is required. They are not only inexpensive but they are easy to maintain if you know a few maintenance tips and tricks. Laminate countertops come in different colours and pattern designs. The important thing that you need to know most is how to properly install it so that the seam does not show when the laminate is laid out. The most infuriating thing about laminates is that scratches are hard to repair but if taken care of laminates can last as long as you want your countertop to last.

Waxing

Laminates not only scratch easily, they also hide dirt and hence need daily cleaning. Most people use simple soap and water. Here's a tip that most people don't know about: how car wax can be a great way of cleaning and making sure the countertop is kept nice and shining without putting wax on and off with application as putting elbow grease to it. Using Car wax keeps most laminate kitchen tops clean and shiny without much effort.

How to iron out bumps with laminates

Putting hot things on top of a laminated surface races the surface resulting in bumps on a laminate countertop. Before you think you have to replace an entire countertop, a much expensive alternative, there is a much cheaper way to deal with this. It is as simple as ironing them out with a wet cloth and hot iron placed on top for about then seconds. What this does is that it softens the glue holding the laminate in place. Once this has been done, putting something heavy on the area for a few hours will make the section where the bump appears much flatter. A few books could do the trick.

Taking care of chips

Laminate countertop like all countertops that are under heavy use will have nicks and chips. Besides ruining the look, chip damage also means that the top will allow damaging water to be retained on the surface and probably seep through to the wooden base beneath. Once the wooden base is damaged, it really becomes only a matter of time before you will have to replace the entire countertop. This is expensive as most countertops are part of a broader design rather than just a single element. Fortunately, there are chip fillers that can be bought from most hardware or home centres. Chip fillers are available in a variety of colours and when used properly, it would be not as noticeable. The important thing however is that the wooden base remains protected from water damage.
