How to polish formica?

Question

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I used to have formica countertops.. As you know.. formica is a trade name for plastic laminte.

There are two different finishes on plastic laminate counters: slick plastic laminate (which is shiny or glossy) and dull plastic laminate (such as butcher-block or leather-grain look). In either case, they can be washed with a damp rag and wiped dry.

Never use abrasive cleansers on plastic laminate because it will scratch the surface and eventually remove the finish.

Most stains can be removed by squeezing a fresh lemon over the ugly area. Let it soak for about half an hour, then sprinkle some baking soda over the lemon juice. Scrub it with a terry cloth rag, rinse and wipe dry.

Answer 2

Formica is just a laminate, not real wood. So Pledge, 409, any universal cleaner as long as you don't use abrasives.
