Have you just bought a brand new home or just had your house renovated with new surfaces?

The chances are that you want to prolongate their shiny glossy look for as long as possible.

Keeping them free from damage doesn’t have to take time and effort each day. For the majority of surfaces, it’s as simple as providing it with a protective layer before they are used and cleaning it now and again with polish and a cloth.

If you are reading this and want some FAB tips to help keep surfaces from damage, you have come to the right place.

We will go through 7 effective and budget-friendly ways to keep any surface free from stains, burns, and fading. Just to let you know, we got loads of inspiration from Geaves, as well as established brands like goodhousekeeping.com.

From using fancy trinket trays to table mats, with these tips your surfaces will look as new as the day you bought them.

Use heatproof mats

Seems like common sense, right? To not put hot pots and pans on shiny surfaces as they will scorch them. Frying pans love to make a round mark on laminated surfaces!

Using heatproof mats is an effective and budget-friendly way to protect surfaces against burns from hot pans. You can find all sorts of trendy designs and shapes to match your home decor.

Place trinket trays on surfaces

Another modern and convenient but yet stylish way to protect surfaces from scratches is using trinket trays. You have probably seen them a million times whilst shopping but avoided buying them.

They are brilliant for throwing objects and personal items in, like your keys, jewellery, TV remote, wallet, coins, etc. They keep things nice and tidy and easy to find.

Placing fancy trinket trays (you can find lots of trendy trinket trays on amazon) on surfaces around your home or even at work, will prevent you from throwing items on top that will potentially scratch them.

Protect surfaces from UV rays

Keeping direct sunlight away from wooden surfaces will prevent them from fading. With prolonged exposure to sunlight, wood will start to bleach and lose its colour.

An effective way to prevent this from happening is covering the windows with curtains or blinds to stop direct sunlight coming in.

Make your surface shine

Nothing looks better than a shiny surface table, FACT! Keeping them looking shiny for years to come, however, takes extra attention.

Use Carnauba Polish wax for surfaces such as metal, marble, slate, wood, and concrete. It’s a 3 step easy process that leaves your surfaces looking and smelling amazing.

The beauty of this is it takes around 20 minutes to do and only needs to be waxed twice a year.

Prevent watermark rings

Water rings can be found on any surface, from residential homes to commercial offices. The number of times you will have a cup or glass on your table whilst at work or at home, which will eventually leave a mark unless proper prevention methods are used.

If you already have water rings on your surface. Use equal parts of vinegar and olive oil mix together and rub with a clean cloth.

Using cup mats to place your drink on is the best and easiest way to-never-have-to deal with watermark rings again.

Disinfect and wash surfaces

Leaving surfaces too long without cleaning them will increase the build-up of dust, unwanted germs, and stains from spillages.

Washing surfaces daily and at the end of each use with disinfectant spray and a dry microfiber cloth will keep them free from stains, dirt, and dust.

Use adhesive surfaces shelf liner

If you didn’t know about adhesive surfaces shelf liners before, then let me explain…

They instantly give tables, cabinets, shelves, and household surfaces a new look with printed paper that accommodate for most patterns that mimic household surfaces.

They are ideal for covering surfaces from damages, decorating them, and they are easy to clean!
