Engineered Worktop Maintenance

Engineered stone worktops do not require high maintenance, however, basic care and maintenance are necessary for them to look striking.

• Use a soft damp cloth soaked in warm water and soap solution for gentle wiping of the surface.

• Scrape off the dried remains of food preparation with blunt-edged instruments. Make sure you are very gentle in scraping the surface.

• Use a degreasing agent which is safe and bleach-free for surfaces to remove the tough greasy membrane from the worktop surface. Follow this step by rinsing the surface with warm water and drying the surface clean.

• Cleaning the surface immediately can go a long way in making the countertop last longer. Though engineered stone worktops do resist stains for a brief period, permanent stains can occur when coffee, tea, or wine is spilled. In case of spillage, the surface must be quickly cleaned.

• Engineered countertops have excellent longevity, given they are protected from extremely hot temperatures using mats or trivets to place crock pots, hot pans, and electric skillets.

• Avoid placing an object that is extremely hot, directly on your Engineered stone worktops because there will be a higher chance of damage to the countertop.

• Engineered surfaces are although stain-resistant but not scratch-proof. Do not chop food directly on your workstation. Doing so will not only make your knives blunt over time but also pose a high risk of damaging your worktop surface. To avoid this, use a chopping board.

• Keep harsh cleaning detergents and chemicals away from your worktop surfaces as they run the risk of degrading the surface. Even if they spill by accident, use a warm cloth with a mild washing liquid to wipe down the counter and dry them clean.
