Troubleshooting
Worktop appears dull after cleaning
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and not an abrasive cleaner. Rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid waxy polishers.
Slight discoloration from a spill
Wipe the affected area immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for laminate surfaces may be carefully used. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Chip or scratch on the surface
Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth and a laminate repair kit. For significant damage, consult a professional installer or consider a section replacement if possible.

Check that all supporting cabinets and fixings are secure. Ensure the worktop is properly adhered or clamped to the base units as per installation instructions.
