Care and Cleaning
Caring for Your Casework
Amcase casework delivers lasting performance and beauty with simple, consistent care. Keep each piece looking its best by cleaning it regularly and handling its surfaces with care. We design our furniture for easy maintenance, so keeping its finish and function in good condition fits naturally into your routine. A few mindful habits will help your casework perform beautifully for years.
With all cleaners, we recommend testing a small, inconspicuous area to ensure that the product does not adversely affect or damage the surface being cleaned.
Routine care
A damp cloth or sponge and mild soap will work perfectly, even window cleaners and mild detergents. Abrasive products such as scouring pads, steel wool, or sandpaper are not recommended.
Thermofused Laminate (TFM)
These TFM surfaces are easy to maintain; however, permanent ink marks may be removed with solvent-based products like mineral spirits, M.E.K., or lacquer thinner, and then immediately wiped with a damp clean cloth.
High-Pressure Laminate (HPL)
HPL can usually be rinsed with just a damp cloth. For stronger sanitation, window cleaners, mild detergents, isopropyl alcohol, Lysol®, and Clorox® can be used; however, prolonged exposure to bleach will cause discoloration, so use with discretion.
Solid Surface
For daily care, use a damp cloth with soap and water; however, if you prefer ammonia-based solutions, they can be used and wiped dry. Avoid exposing the surface to harsh chemicals such as paint remover, nail polish remover, or drain cleaners.
Phenolic
These products have a non-porous surface making them nearly impervious to spills and liquids. Nevertheless, regular maintenance is recommended as you would for any work environment. A soft towel with a mild cleaning agent is all you need.
Epoxy
Regular upkeep is recommended to ensure a disinfected, uncontaminated working environment. Use a soft towel and mild soap with water for general cleaning, and acetone can be used to thoroughly clean surfaces where allowed.
Stainless Steel
Even though it is very resistant to rust, you should maintain a germ-free surface by frequent cleaning. Use a cotton cloth and mild soap with water or a glass cleaner to maintain your stainless steel's original appearance and luster.
Safety first
With all cleaners, we advise testing a small unnoticeable area to ensure that the products do not adversely affect or damage the surface being cleaned.
