With proper care and maintenance your solid surface countertops will
mantain their durability and beauty through years of service
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Avoid letting hot pans and harsh chemicals come in direct contact with
the surface.
2. Keep foods and condiments that stain (i.e. blueberries, ketchup) from
contacting the surface. When spills occur clean up immediately.
3. Remove loose items from the countertops. Use damp cloths and coasters
to prevent glass rings and discoloration.
4. Utilize appropriate cutting boards to protect the surface from knife
marks.
CLEANING AND STAIN REMOVAL
1. Just about any cleaner recommended for Cultured Marble or Fiberglass
will be appropriate for solid surfaces.
2. Hot soapy water works well in most cases. Glass cleaner does a good job
of cleaning up smudges and refreshing the appearance.
3. For tough stains, a slightly abrasive cleaner is a quick and efficient
cleaner.
4. For solid colored white tops, a mixture of four parts water and one part
chlorine bleach along with a Scotch-Brite pad will refresh the appearance
quickly and easily.
5. After cleaning, the application of a coat of a light spray wax refreshes
and protects the surface.
6. To remove hard water buildup use a mild solution of vinegar and water.
For a difficult stain or deep scratches, wet sand using a sanding block with
600 grit wet/dry paper (sand in a circular motion) and rinse with clear wa-
ter.
