Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Jan 30, 2015 9:21 am Our kitchen has silver/grey laminate doors which has a textured surface to help reflect light. What it actually does is make it impossible to clean. I have tried all sorts of things including creme cleanser, white spirit, using bristle brushes, microfibre cloth amongst other things. Can anyone help please? Re: Cleaning laminate with textured surface 2Jan 30, 2015 1:34 pm We use thinners at work but that's not something you would want to use in the home. Be careful using cream cleaners after time they can make areas of the door go shinny. Unfortunately that type of finish requires elbow grease!

It usually takes lots of scrubbing and detergent, and the results are not always satisfying. But after lots of struggling, I found a few tricks which work out perfectly for me, and leave the textured surface clean. I use a soft bristle brush, because the hard bristles are not flexible enough to remove the dirt from those hard to reach spots. If the surface is relatively clean and just needs to be refreshed, I use some mild soap and a bucket of warm water. And if the surface is very dirty and full of stains, I use a 3:1 solution of baking soda and water. I scrub the surface with this paste, and the baking soda practically does all the work. And I always dry the surface with a cloth after cleaning it, because otherwise there's a chance of water stains appearing, and they are also hard to clean. It will be neat but you won't have much freeboard. At least they are not weep holes. Are you in a high intensity rainfall region?
