Pionite decorative laminate provides a durable surface that is easy
to maintain using ordinary care.
To maintain the laminate's lasting beauty, cleaning with a solution
of warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent is all that should
be required in most cases.
Stains may be removed with most non-abrasive household cleaners
such as FORMULA 409®, FANTASTIK®, GLASS PLUS®, or WINDEX WITH
AMMONIA D®. Light scrubbing with a soft bristled brush may be necessary
to remove stains from the depth of the structure on some textured surfaces.
If the stain persists, use a paste of baking soda and water and apply with
a soft bristled brush. Light scrubbing for 10 to 20 strokes should remove
most
stains. Although baking soda is a low abrasive, excessive scrubbing
or
exerting too much force may damage the decorative surface, especially
if it
has a gloss finish.
Stubborn stains that resist any of the above cleaning methods may require
the use of undiluted household bleach. Apply the bleach to the stain and let
stand no longer than 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water
and wipe dry. This step may be repeated if the stain appears to be going
away and the color of the laminate has not been affected.
WARNING: Prolonged exposure of the laminate surface to bleach will cause
discoloration.
Many commercially available products contain substances that may damage
or discolor a laminate surface. ABRASIVE CLEANERS SHOULD NOT BE USED.
Particular care should be used with any products labelled CAUTION or WARNING.
Any questions or concerns should be referred to the product's manufacturer
or call 1-800-746-6483. Do not allow harsh materials to remain in contact with
the laminate surface.
Examples of these are as follows:
• Toilet bowl cleaners
• Hydrogen Peroxide
• Oven cleaners
• Drain cleaners
• Metal cleaners and polishes
• Chlorine bleach
• Coffee pot cleaners
• Hard water stain removers
• Fruit and berry juice
