How do I clean and maintain my engineered stone benchtops?
Most engineered stone products are extremely scratch and stain resistant. Using common sense and following the care and maintenance guidelines below will ensure the longevity of your engineered stone benchtop/product:
• Clean with warm, soapy water and a damp sponge. Detergent should be non-abrasive and pH neutral. Avoid forceful scrubbing.
• Any spills should be wiped/cleaned immediately.
• Chopping boards must always be used. Never cut directly on the engineered stone benchtops/products.
• Heat pads must always be used. Never place hot items from oven, cooktop, microwave or any other heat source directly on the stone benchtops/products. Sudden heat shock may cause the stone to crack.
• Do not use any strong chemicals or solvents (such as, but not limited to oven cleaning products, bleaches, nail polish removers, paint strippers etc.) on the engineered stone benchtops/products.
• Do not drag items across the engineered stone benchtops/products as this may cause the surface to scratch.
• Do not impact load the engineered stone benchtops/products on the surface or near the edges (including edges near undermount sinks) as this may result in chipping.
• Do not place excessive weight or stand on your engineered stone benchtops/products under any circumstances.
