Caring for Wilsonart Countertops

As one of the most popular types of countertops around, Wilsonart countertops look great in Twin Cities homes. They are budget friendly and, because they come in such a variety of colors and patterns, it is easy to find the perfect match for your own unique style and home décor. You probably want to keep your new counters looking good for as long as possible, so here are a few tips on how to properly clean and maintain Wilsonart countertops.

Solid surface Wilsonart countertops generally only need water and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner, like Formula 409 or some other type of glass or multi-purpose cleaner. Simply spray the counters with a bit of the cleaning solution and then wipe up with a soft, dry cloth or paper towel. Make sure you get all of the cleaner wiped up off the counters and dry them thoroughly so spots don’t appear.

When it comes to stain removal, the technique you use mostly depends on the countertop finish.

Matte finish Wilsonart countertops need an abrasive cleaner and damp sponge. Simply buff the stain in a circular motion and then rinse and towel dry.

Satin finish and semi-gloss finish Wilsonart countertops can also be cleaned in the same way, but the cleaner you use should only be mildly abrasive.

Gloss finish Wilsonart countertops need a mild detergent or soap. The cleaner you use should be completely non-abrasive. Use a soft cloth and be sure to thoroughly rinse and dry them when you are done.

Laminate Wilsonart countertops should be cleaned on a day to day basis with water and a clean sponge. A mild soap or detergent can be used if need be. Just make sure that you rinse and dry the counters completely after you are finished washing them.

For stain removal on laminate Wilsonart countertops, use a mild cleaner and a soft bristled brush. Scrub gently with the soap, water and brush. You can repeat this as you need to in order to remove the stain. Just keep a light hand and make sure you do not accidentally scratch the countertop surface.
