Title: Cleaning formica
Post by: Cuilidh on September 03, 2020, 01:44:07 am
When we completed our renovation we moved the kitchen from upstairs, downstairs for the staff to use as a kitchen.  They were really pleased and happy with this but they have made a terrible mess of it, it is badly stained and every time I look at it my heart breaks just a little bit more.  It was a lovely kitchen unit and we had kept it pristine for 20 odd years, in just a couple of months it is a mess.

I want to try to clean it during lockdown so that it will be more presentable when we (eventually) are allowed to re-open.  It is a textured light green coloured formica.  Does anyone have any ideas of a suitable product that will clean the stains - mainly made from the bottom of a metal biscuit tin and spilled tea / coffee.  Because I try to use my own home made cleaners (which don't seem to be working this time) I have to resort to those found on supermarket shelves and I am not really very familiar with them anymore ... there are so many, it is bewildering.  Does anyone have any suggestions please.  Thanks.

What a shame Marina, people don’t care for our possessions as we do unfortunately. I googled ‘best product to clean a formica benchtop‘, there are lots of suggestions there for you to read.  Good luck with it and I hope you can educate your staff to look after it if you can bring it back to how it was.

Thanks Judy.  How often you have responded to my vague queries by checking on google for me ... after all this time, I still don't think to do it first myself.  I must learn that google undoubtedly has an answer to just about everything - I think Youtube is also like that.  I'm off to check on both.

I hope you find something Marina. It is awful when you treat things so well and others forget too.
