Taking
care of Surestone2000 countertops.
|
| |
| Cleaning
and Maintenance |
| Most spills
clean up with plain water and a soft cloth or sponge. Dried spills,
syrup, or liquids with dyes (such as Kool Aid®, grape juice, etc.)
should be soaked and may require a cleaning agent such as Softscrub®
or Softscrub® with bleach. Attempting to "scrape" a
dried spill may scratch or damage any solid surface countertop. Wipe
dry to avoid water marks. |
| Scratches,
Nicks, and Gouges |
| Although Surestone2000
is extremely resistant to normal wear, you should never cut directly on
it. Always use a proper cutting board and never use a paper or Styrofoam
plate as a cutting protector. Light scratches may easily be removed with
a wet purple Scotch Brite® pad. Slightly deeper scratches may require
a series of sandings, starting with a wet 220 grit sandpaper, followed
by wet 320 grit and then a wet Scotch Brite pad. Be careful not to over
sand or sand too little in an area causing a dip In the countertop. |
| Deeper cuts,
nicks, or gouges may require professional reparations. These however
are usually the result of improper use or abuse of the countertop.
With proper care, your Surestone2000 countertop will last for many
years to come.! Never cut directly or any solid surface, marble, granite
or laminate top. |
| Note:
A gloss surface (Optional) is not recommended for kitchen or bathroom
use and will require the aid of a solid surface professional for regular
maintenance. |
| Burns |
| Never place
hot cooking utensils or materials on a solid surface top, directly
form the stove or oven. Sudden dramatic temperature changes can severely
damage ant solid surface material. Always use a trivet for placing
hot materials from the oven or stove top or when using heated appliances
such as crock pots, electric frying pans, griddles, etc. Minor burns
such as cigarette burn can be removed using the same method for removing
scratches. Cracks or scorching from improper use will require a Surestone2000
professional. |
