How to Clean Laminate Furniture
Laminate furniture is popular due to its durability and the wide range of finishes available. However, laminate also requires specific care to maintain its appearance over time.
How to Clean Matte Laminate Furniture
Matte laminate has a particular charm but tends to show fingerprints and marks more easily. Follow these steps to clean it:
- Dust Removal: Use a soft, dry cloth, preferably microfiber, to remove surface dust. Avoid abrasive cloths that could scratch the surface.
- Prepare a Gentle Cleaning Solution: Mix warm water with a bit of mild soap. Avoid harsh cleaners that could further dull the surface.
- Cleaning: Dip a soft cloth in the solution and wring it out well. Clean the laminate with circular motions, paying attention to any stubborn stains.
- Drying: Immediately dry the surface with another soft, dry cloth. This step is crucial to avoid streaks.
How to Clean Kitchen Cabinets in Laminate
Kitchen cabinets are exposed daily to grease, splashes, and moisture. Regular cleaning is essential to keep them in good condition.
Products for Cleaning Kitchen Cabinets
To clean laminate kitchen cabinets, follow these tips:
- Grease Removal: Use a mild degreaser like our Mobiclean furniture cleaner spray, which is specially formulated to clean wood and melamine without damaging them. Spray the product onto a cloth, not directly onto the cabinet, to prevent liquid from seeping into the joints.

How to Clean Wood Furniture
Wood is a noble and natural material that requires special care to preserve its beauty and durability. Cleaning wood furniture varies depending on the type of finish.
- Dust Removal: Use a soft microfiber cloth to remove dust. For furniture with carvings or decorative details, use a soft-bristled brush to reach difficult corners.
- Cleaning Stains: For light stains, you can use a cloth slightly dampened with water and a bit of mild soap. For more stubborn stains, try a mixture of water and white vinegar, but be sure to dry immediately to avoid damaging the wood. Otherwise, in this case too, Mobiclean cleaner remains our recommended choice for cleaning wood furniture.
- Polishing: After cleaning, use a product specifically for wood care, like our Mobiclean wax, which nourishes and protects the surface, restoring the furniture’s original luster.
How to Use Furniture Wax
Wax is a crucial product for maintaining wood furniture. In addition to protecting the surface, it gives a shiny, refreshed appearance. Here’s how to use it effectively:
- Preparation: Before applying the wax, ensure the furniture is completely clean and dry. Remove dust and stains as described in the previous section.
- Applying the Wax: Use a soft cloth or a wool applicator to spread a thin layer of wax. Follow the wood grain for an even result.
- Polishing: Let the wax dry for the time indicated on the package, then polish the surface with a clean cloth until you achieve the desired shine.
- Maintenance: Reapply the wax periodically, depending on the furniture’s use and the environment it’s in. Regular application keeps the wood nourished and protected.
