Kitchen Worktops – After Care

Kitchen DIY > Kitchen Worktops – After Care

Cleaning

Your worktops are generally extremely simple for you to preserve. With regard to everyday cleaning simply wipe across with your preferred cleaning agent watered down with water. Persistent marks can be removed using a non-abrasive cream cleaner and a gentle circular rubbing action to the affected area. Gloss worksurfaces need a little much more treatment. After cleaning with detergent and water as described above, buff over the surface with a clean, dry soft cloth to preserve its glossy looks. Please by no means ever use scouring powders or abrasive pads on any worktops as they can damage the floor.

Heat

Please take care to shield your worksurface from direct contact with warmth. For instance, you need to by no means place cooking utensils directly from the oven or hob onto the worksurface. Usually use protective mats. Also, please avoid placing electric kettles and deep fat fryers over worksurface joints; specific models can generate excessive heat which may degrade your joint permitting moisture to penetrate.

Metallic decors: metallic finishes offer a gorgeous

fashion finish, but ought to be treated with extra care. Due towards the refl ective nature with the metallic particles, application  of heat might result in some movement with the protective overlay. Usually use a mat or trivet to protect the surface if  your utensil is too hot to handle.

Scratching

Never cut straight onto any kitchen worktops,  a chopping board should usually be utilized to protect the floor from reduce marks. Your Bushboard worksurface is remarkably resistant towards the every day sliding of crockery and utensils across the worksurface. Gloss and smoother textures need extra care and attention as do extremely dark decors. Being a extremely reflective finish gloss will tend to show scuffs and scratches much more readily than more heavily textured finishes. We can’t accept responsibility for the performance with the gloss laminate fi nish with respect to marks and scuffs.

Moisture

Our Kitchen Worktops are sealed to protect against water penetration but we advise that you immediately wipe up any water spillages, particularly around the front edge and any joints. In addition, take care not to let moisture lie on joints eg from a wet cloth, as this can also lead to water ingress.

Dishwashers, washing machines,tumble-driers and ovens

Our Kitchen Worktops are supplied factory sealed along the front edge and underside. However, please follow a couple of simple rules to prevent excess moisture causing potential damage towards the worksurface and adjacent units. Initial, make sure any appliance door seals are intact to stop steam escaping in use. Secondly, don’t open your dishwasher until it has cooled down. This prevents steam escaping and condensing on the adjacent units and worksurface.

Staining

Your Bushboard worksurface is resistant to most common household chemicals or foodstuffs, including alcohol and cosmetics. Some items may trigger staining. For great practice, we advise that any spillage is wiped off straight away.
