Worktop rejuvenation

[quiksilver911]

Hi,

What do you treat a faded, scratched worktop with to get it looking new and shiny again?

And not quite the right place, but what's the equivalent for stainless steel (my sink looks crap)?

Suggestions for places to purchase very welcome, too. Thanks!

Stainless steel, use white vinegar (about 50p in my local Asda's) and a microfibre cloth. What sort of worktop is it? If 'normal' laminate then not much you can do but keep it clean and use a chopping board.

Hi,

Thanks for the white vinegar suggestion, I'll give it a go.

The worktop is the standard laminate stuff.

Try giving your worktop a spray over with WD40 ( I know) but we often use it after finishing a kitchen and it brings the shine right up.

It won't provide a long term solution, but a quick spray - wipe around with dry kitchen roll and it'll look good for while, it only takes a couple of minutes so you can do it every day without too much trouble.

Unfortunately there is no method of regenerating tired worktops, when they're gone - they're gone.
