    • Use warm water with a little liquid dish soap, or spray some vinegar (undiluted) to degrease the affected area before treating it.If the scratches are too deep and the vinegar isn't enough to remove the dirt, try pouring in a little rubbing alcohol.
  2. Step 2 Usa un panno morbido per rimuovere i residui di sapone e asciugare bene l'area.
  3. Step 3 Riempi le scalfitture con la cera per legno in pasta, passandola con un panno morbido e pulito.
    • Waxing your laminate countertops is a great solution for hiding and covering small, shallow scratches.
  4. Step 4 Fai penetrare a fondo la cera nelle scalfitture del piano di lavoro.
    • Using the soft cloth, gently spread the wax over the entire work surface, including the areas without scratches.Thus the appearance of the plan will be homogeneous.
  5. Step 5 Lucida la cera su tutta la superficie del piano di lavoro.
    • To polish the wax, use another clean soft cloth or an electric polisher with the lambswool-covered attachment.

    • The pastes and putties for repairing laminates manage to penetrate into the smallest recesses of the scratches and hide them completely.Specific versions for plastic laminate and wooden worktops are available on the market.
    • Choose a paste or filler whose color is close to that of your countertop.You can buy them in shops and department stores that specialize in craft supplies.You can also contact the manufacturer of your kitchen furniture directly for information on the most suitable products or to identify the exact color of your counter.
    • Apply several layers of paste to each nick, following the method indicated by the instructions on the package.Otherwise, as a reference you can apply layers of thickness no greater than 1.5 mm.
  2. Step 2 Usa una piccola spatola per spalmare uniformemente la pasta sulla superficie del piano di lavoro.
  3. Step 3 Lascia asciugare il prodotto, pasta o stucco, per almeno 24 ore prima di toccare o comunque usare l'area trattata.

Advice

  • Laminate repair paste and putty can also be used to repair small cuts or cracks, in addition to scratches.
  • As an alternative to paste furniture wax, car wax might also work.In this case, however, it is advisable to consult the manufacturer of the worktop to ensure that the product is suitable and cannot damage the worktop.
  • If your attempts to repair the scratches aren't completely satisfactory, you may want to give the surface of the countertop a light coat of paint, choosing a color that doesn't make the scratches stand out.
  • Use cutting boards to slice and chop food and other items, instead of doing it directly on the countertop.Most scratches on worktops are caused by the use of knives and similar sharp tools.
