Care of Plastic Laminate Counters Plastic laminate counter resist scratches. However they can be cut by knives or other sharp objects so slice or chop on a cutting board, not on the counter. Neverhammer heavy items on the counter, as hard blows or heavy objects dropped on the counter, can gouge it.Avoid exposure to materials which can stain such as tea, coffee, food dyes and indelible inks.Plastic laminated countertops are made of melamine plastic. They stand brief exposure to heat up to 275 F. However longer exposure to temperatures of 140 F. and up(the temperature of most hot water from water heaters) can cause laminated layers to separate. Pans coming fromthe oven or range-top at temperatures over 275 F. shouldnever be placed on the counter as they can soften andburn the plastic. Keep an insulated hot pad or mat handyto set such pans on. Also never put heated irons or cigarettes on the laminated counter as they can burn holes in it. Strong acids and alkalis in such household cleaners as rust removers, oven cleaners, metal cleaners, drain and toilet bowl cleaners can etch, corrode, and permanently discolor the laminated surface. Never putsuch cleaners on plastic laminates. If some is spilled accidentally, immediately wipe it off, and rinsethoroughly.
