MFC & laminate furniture care & cleaning guide.

Due to their resistant and hygienic surfaces Melamine faced & laminate faced boards do not require any specific maintenance. The surface is generally durable and ease to clean. The recommended cleaning methods according to the degree of soiling are as follows:

Light, Fresh Soiling - Clean with a dry paper towel, a soft clean cloth (dry/slightly damp). If using a slightly damp cloth, dry the surface with an absorbent paper towel or microfiber cloth straight away to avoid water sitting on your furniture.

How to Avoid Streaks - Streaks often form when the surface is cleaned with organic solvents, together with cold water and old cloths. To ensure no streaks occur when cleaning, we recommend wiping the surface down with a slightly damp cloth with warm water and then drying it straight away using normal paper towels or microfiber cloths.

Normal / Heavy Soiling - Clean with warm water, on a slightly damp clean cloth or microfiber cloth. Use normal domestic cleaners or soaps that have no abrasive ingredient. Then wipe with fresh water, removing all traces of the cleaning agent, to prevent streaks forming. Dry the surface straight away with a clean, absorbent cloth or paper towel.

The following cleaning agents should not be used under any circumstances: Scouring and abrasive agents (abrasive powders, scouring pads, steel wool). Polish, washing powder, furniture cleaner, bleach. Detergents with strong acids and acidic salts. Steam cleaning equipment. Wipe up any spillages immediately.

Do NOT allow hot or cold items to come into contact with furniture surface.

As your new furniture settles and levels naturally, the doors may drop slightly. This is typical in older buildings with older flooring. Each hinge is adjustable to easily tweak & return the door to its original position. It is best to adjust when required to avoid doors catching and damaging the plinth below. Please ask if you require advice on this.

Please refer to this document prior to cleaning your new furniture. If you have any questions please get in touch & one of our team will be happy to help.
