Formica is a brand of laminate countertops. Premium edges like Formica IdealEdge and premium finishes like Crystal and Natural Grain can increase the price of materials. Formica has two top-selling lines: the 180fx (a marble pattern) and Premiumfx (available in five finishes). Other popular manufacturers of laminate countertops include Pionite and Wilsonart.
You can paint, tile, or put a layer of concrete over your laminate countertops if you don’t want to remove them. Take caution with these projects to ensure the final result is smooth and holds up to everyday wear and tear.
You can apply a homemade cleaning solution to remove stains from laminate countertops. Mix baking soda and water to create a paste, then leave it on the stain for about five minutes. Don’t scrub the paste, as baking soda is abrasive. Remove the paste using a soft, damp cloth. Repeat this process as often as needed if the stain isn’t gone after your first try.
