Daily Cleaning and Care
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild detergent for daily cleaning. Avoid abrasive pads that can dull the surface.
- Immediate Spill Cleanup: Blot spills immediately to prevent staining, especially for acidic substances like coffee, wine, or lemon juice.
Stain Removal
- Surface Stains: For stubborn stains, use a pH-neutral cleaner and gently scrub the surface. Rinse thoroughly with water afterward.
- Deep Stains: For tougher stains, a diluted bleach solution can be applied for a short period before thorough rinsing. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.
Long-Term Upkeep
- Periodic Deep Cleaning: Schedule regular deep cleanings using recommended stone cleaners to maintain the surface's luster.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Steer clear of harsh chemicals and acidic cleaners, which can damage sintered stone.
Protecting the Surface
- Use Trivets and Mats: Although sintered stone is heat resistant, it's advisable to use trivets for hot pots and protective mats under heavy objects.
- Avoid Sharp Objects: Prevent scratches by avoiding direct cutting on the surface and using cutting boards.
Outdoor Maintenance
Weather Exposure: For outdoor installations, occasional cleaning to remove dust and debris is recommended. Sintered stone is UV and weather-resistant, making it ideal for outdoor use.
Professional Restoration
In the rare event that the surface becomes dull or scratched, professional resurfacing may be required to restore its original appearance.
