How do I repair scratches or stains on a flip-top training table surface?

Light scratches on laminate flip-top table surfaces can often be minimized with a laminate touch-up marker or crayon in a matching color — available from hardware stores in common shades. Deep scratches that cut through the laminate are harder to fix cosmetically. For stains: most laminate cleaning agents (Formula 409, ammonia-free glass cleaner) remove common stains. For stubborn ink or marker stains, rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth often works. For permanent marker, a non-acetone nail polish remover applied carefully can remove the stain without damaging the laminate. If the surface is too damaged to present professionally, replacement tops (just the laminate panel) are available from many manufacturers as service parts. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
