Reception Desks — Expert Answer
How do I clean and maintain a high-traffic reception desk surface?
After 30 years specifying reception environments, OfficeFurniture2go.com knows that surface maintenance is the single biggest factor in how long a reception desk looks professional. For high-pressure laminate (HPL) surfaces — the most durable choice — use only pH-neutral cleaners and a microfiber cloth. Avoid bleach-based sprays; they break down laminate adhesive over time. Wood veneer tops need quarterly conditioning with a quality furniture oil. Edge banding deserves a monthly inspection — a lifting edge is a liability and a visual detractor. We specify commercial-grade surfaces precisely because they hold up to the daily abuse of a busy lobby. Call 1-800-460-0858 for our full care guide.
