How to Get Stains Out of Laminate Counters and Floors

Laminate counter tops and flooring can be wonderful for those of us who don't have a lot of time to clean, or just plain don't like to. Laminate flooring is super easy to clean, just mop and go. Laminate counter tops are cheap, also easy to clean, and can be replaced in a moments notice if they get ruined. Although laminate is great it does have its pitfalls. Other than the fact that laminate melts, burns, and scratches, it also tends to stain easily. Sometimes regular household cleaners just can't get the job done. If you are having trouble getting stubborn stains out of your laminate counter tops and floors here are some suggestions you may find helpful.

Greased Lightning Multi-Purpose Cleaner
The company slogan for this super strength cleaner is "Cleans When Others Can't" and it is absolutely true! I live by this cleaner and it really works. Not only is it good for getting some stains out of kitchen counters and floors but you can use this cleaner just about anywhere in the house, garage, and car. This multi-purpose cleaner is basically industrial strength and it will peel paint off sheet metal so you have to be careful when using it. For use on laminate counter tops and floors just spray the cleaner directly on the stain and let sit for no longer than 1 or 2 minutes. If you let it sit too long it will dull the surface of the laminate and then you will have to buff and polish it to get the shine back. While the cleaner sits on the stain rub it in a circular motion with either your fingers or a sponge. After 2 minutes wipe the cleaner away and rinse with water.
