Maintenance and cleaning of soft laminate furniture

In this article, we'll clarify how to care for film-covered furniture. Let's start with cleaning products: your best bet is a microfiber cloth lightly dampened with water and a little neutral detergent. Harsh products, pure degreasers, or abrasive sponges aren't a good idea; they risk dulling the surface, especially on super-matte finishes and glossy effects.

Let's talk about typical kitchen stains: splashes of sauce, oil, coffee, and fingerprints near the handles. The key is to intervene as soon as possible with a gentle clean, without excessive scrubbing. In the bathroom, we recommend frequent airing to avoid prolonged condensation on the cabinets. As for impacts, such as the sharp knock of a pan or chair, they can affect any surface, and it's important to check whether the damage is merely cosmetic or has also affected the support. If the damage is localized, a quick repair is possible, for example, by re-covering a single door. This is one of the advantages of this solution: you can address a single item without having to dismantle the entire cabinet.

We'll then dedicate a section to daily habits that prolong the life of the coating: avoid placing hot pans near the edges, don't use cutters or knives directly on the coated surfaces, and be careful not to drag very sharp objects against the doors. These aren't prohibitions, but good practices that often apply to any piece of furniture, whether coated or not.

We conclude with a mini guide for different spaces: in the kitchen, we suggest more practical shades and finishes, such as medium woods or textured grays that better hide small marks. In the bedroom and living area, smoother, lighter surfaces are more suitable. The final message is simple: with a little care, soft laminate furniture will remain beautiful and functional for years.
