Caring for your new kitchen or bathroom

We hope you are pleased with your new kitchen and/or bathroom and will enjoy them for many years to come.

Your new kitchen and/or bathroom has been designed to avoid staining from most household spillages, so general cleaning of the surfaces only requires a damp cloth and warm soapy water. But, here are some tips to keep them looking in good condition.

• Never cut directly onto the worktop surface
• Always use a chopping board when preparing food
• Never place items taken directly from the oven or hob onto the worktop
• Always use heat resistant mats on the surface of the worktop
• Take care with hot irons
• Wipe spillages as soon as possible and away from joints in the worktop
• To avoid scratching your sink, use a plastic bowl for washing up
• Wipe taps with a soft cloth
• Use a mild detergent diluted in warm water
• Never use abrasive cleaners as these will damage surfaces
• Avoid walking on your new flooring with high heels
• Use a floor cleaner to keep your new flooring looking good
• Avoid dragging appliances on your new flooring
• Never use steam cleaners on the units, worktops or panels.
