Formica plastic laminate is commonly used to cover kitchen surfaces such as cabinets. Formica is available in a number of styles and finishes, such as matte, high-gloss and metallic. Kitchen cabinets laminated with Formica are sensitive to heat, abrasives and harsh cleaners, all of which can damage the finish. Clean Formica kitchen cabinets with a mild household detergent to remove dirt, grease and food residue.
