Care and Maintenance
Solid Surface
Solid surface does not require sealing or
special cleaning products. Soap and water will
wipe away most stains. Minor scratches and
burns can be buffed away by the homeowner
without impacting the look or finish. More
serious damage usually can be
inconspicuously repaired by your certified
installer.You should refer to your warranty
regarding coverage for any
repairs.
Surfaces with a gloss or
semi-gloss finish may
require more maintenance
than a matte or satin finish
- scratches may be more
apparent and require a more
detailed buffing technique.
Darker colors also may
require more maintenance.
Scratches and stains in solid surface can be buffed away .
Granite
Most experts agree that a granite countertop
should be resealed every one to two years. In
addition, weekly application of a stone polish
may be recommended as well as specialized
cleaning products and methods. Ask your
installer what products they recommend for
your particular stone and their frequency of
use. When considering the cost of a granite
countertop, these items should be included.
Though granite is very scratch resistant, a
cutting board is recommended to avoid
scratching the sealant. When chips and
scratches do occur, they are very difficult to
remove. Repairs are usually visible, and
serious damage may require full replacement
of the countertop.
