One for How to Maintain and Clean Acrylic & High Gloss Laminates for a Lasting Shine

1. Use a Soft, Microfiber Cloth for Daily Cleaning

Dust and fingerprints can dull the surface over time. Gently wipe the laminate surface with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove everyday dust and smudges. Avoid rough or abrasive cloths that can cause micro-scratches.

2. Clean with Mild Soap and Water

For regular cleaning, mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Dip a soft cloth into the solution, wring it out, and wipe the surface gently. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to maintain the shine.

3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals or Solvents

Acrylic and high gloss laminates can lose their sheen if exposed to alcohol-based or acidic cleaners. Never use bleach, thinner, or ammonia-based products—they can damage the glossy surface permanently.

4. Prevent Scratches and Heat Damage

Use mats or coasters under hot utensils, and avoid dragging sharp objects across laminate surfaces. These small precautions can significantly extend the life and shine of your laminates.

5. Polish Occasionally for Enhanced Gloss

You can apply a specialized laminate polish or a small amount of non-silicone furniture polish to restore shine. Buff gently with a clean cloth for a refreshed, glossy finish.

6. Handle Spills Immediately

Spills from tea, oil, or spices can stain if left unattended. Wipe spills immediately with a damp cloth to prevent marks and residue buildup.

7. Regular Maintenance Tips

  • Keep surfaces dry after cleaning.

  • Avoid using high-pressure steam cleaners.

  • For acrylic laminates, apply an anti-static cleaner occasionally to reduce dust attraction.


Conclusion:

With simple care and regular maintenance, acrylic and high gloss laminates can retain their luxurious sheen for years. By following these easy cleaning tips, your kitchen and wardrobe surfaces from KYZO will continue to look as elegant and new as the day they were installed.
