Once you’ve installed wooden laminates cabinets in your building, you’ll have to figure out the best ways to clean them, especially if you clean once or twice in a year. Designer Laminates and decorative laminates have dust resistant properties but it is natural for any furniture to be gathering dust build-up throughout the year. There are a few other reasons why Wooden Laminates cabinets that exist in specific portions in your house tend to get dirtier than the others. Fortunately, Wooden Laminates cabinets that are lined with designer laminates or decorative laminates are much easier to clean as long as one has figured out the most suitable method to do it properly. Here are some things that should always be kept in mind –

1. Regular dusting is helpful in keeping wooden laminates clean!
One of the best ways to handle the cleaning job is by keeping the cabinets as neat as possible all through the year. Old–school dusting is still the best practice and should be done regularly. Dusting is relatively non-specific and uses regular cloth or a standard duster that can be found at any general store. Dusting can be practiced every two weeks to get rid of any dust accumulation over designer laminates or decorative laminates furniture that may have happened over time.

2. Water first!
After dusting, if you still notice spots or debris on the surface of the designer laminates or decorative laminates furniture, gently rub the dirt spot with a damp soft cloth or bit of a sponge. Gently rub back and forth to see if water is sufficient to get rid of the debris dirt. Always remember to use a little bit of water at first as pouring in too much water can damage the material of wooden laminates and make it look swollen.

3. Chemical agents aren’t so bad!
We always encourage the use of home-made cleaning agents to prevent unnecessary exposure from harmful chemicals that emit substances that can be detrimental to the health of your family members. To make a DIY wooden laminates cleaning solution, mix a tablespoon of dish-washing soap in a bowl of warm water and dip a clean duster in it. Squeeze the water of the duster to keep it moist and wipe down all the laminates, rubbing and removing everything from inside out. Another DIY trick to cleaning laminates is to spray vinegar solution onto the laminates, and wipe off after two minutes. You may also consider getting a cleaning a general purpose solution from the supermarket to get done with the cleaning job fast and efficiently.

Besides all of these measures, one can always go to a local hardware store and ask for professional help to keep one’s home clean and healthy!
