How do I remove adhesive residue from my laminate countertop?
Sometimes glue residues from the production can remain on made-to-measure countertops and laminate wall tiles. The glue residue can be easily removed by taking a few drops of T-red on a soft cloth and gently rubbing off the glue residue. Then take a damp cloth with a mild soap solution and wipe off again, so that there is no T-red left. Finish by wiping dry.
When our partners manufacture our made-to-measure worktops, there can sometimes be a little glue residue left. It's nothing you have to worry about, it's easy to fix yourself!

At IKEA we offers several options of countertops that work well in laundry rooms, however not all of our countertops are suitable for wet areas such as bathrooms. For laundry rooms that are not in wet areas, you can use laminate countertops such as EKBACKEN and SÄLJAN or our more exclusive countertops in quartz composite, high-pressure porcelain, and glass composite - KASKER, MÖCKLARP and LOCKEBO. If you plan to have a countertop in a wet area, we recommend TOLKEN, ÅLSKEN, or HEMTRÄSK.
