Care and Cleaning

 
 

Natural, cherry and mahogany wood surfacing is classic and contemporary, warm and cool and intriguing yet comfortable.

Formica Lignaź wood surfacing is real wood laminated to a phenolic core, which provides the warmth of natural woodgrains in an environmentally responsible product.  Formica Ligna also combines the beauty of natural wood with exotic designs and more consistent quality and ease of use than other wood veneers.  Formica Ligna is made from real wood veneer. Consequently, light color and pattern variation may occur and does not indicate a product defect. As with natural wood, exposure to direct sunlight can produce color change; any slight change in color over time does not indicate a product defect.

Formica Ligna is available with two types of surfaces:

Unfinished surface is intended for application to dry interior light duty horizontal or vertical surfaces requiring a radiused edge where design, appearance, and quality are required. Surface properties are dependent on the finish applied by the fabricator. Do not leave the surface unfinished.


Polyurethane surface is intended for application to dry interior light duty horizontal or vertical surfaces requiring a radiused edge where design, appearance, quality, durability, and resistance to stain and heat from ordinary sources are required.


Scratches and Impact
Formica Ligna is not intended for high-wear horizontal applications such as kitchen countertops or transaction areas that are prone to abuse.  The surface of Formica Ligna can be damaged by abuse or carelessness.  Do not slice, chop, pound, or hammer on the laminate surface. Heavy impact can cause cracks and gouges in the surface.


Formica Ligna Polyurethane pre-finished surfaces should be treated in the same manner as fine wood furniture, and may be cleaned with a damp cloth.


The use of solvent based cleaning solutions is not recommended. If in doubt about the suitability of a particular cleaner, detergent or polish, check with Web -Don, Inc. The use of abrasive cleaners, powders, scouring pads, steel wool, sandpaper, etc., can damage the finish and make the surface susceptible to staining.


Stains
Most common staining agents have no effect on the polyurethane surface laminates. Stains from the following materials and liquids, however, are more stubborn or even permanent and will not disappear:

  • Hair dyes and rinses

  • Laundry bluing

  • Pharmaceuticals

  • Wood stains

  • Marking pens

  • Newsprint

  • Indelible inks

  • Cash register ink

  • Food pricing label ink
