Maintaining your Surface
Share
Routine Cleaning:
- Daily Cleaning: Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth for regular cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the surface.
- Spills and Stains: While sintered stone is highly stain-resistant, it’s essential to clean up spills promptly. Even though it won’t absorb liquids, wiping away substances like coffee, wine, or oil ensures longevity.
Avoid Scratches:
- While sintered stone is scratch-resistant, it’s not entirely scratch-proof. To prevent any accidental scratches:
- Use cutting boards when chopping or slicing.
- Place trivets or hot pads under hot items to avoid thermal shock.
Heat Resistance:
- Sintered stone is heat-resistant, but it’s still a good practice to protect it from extreme temperatures. Use trivets or mats under hot cookware or appliances.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals:
- Strong acids and alkalis should be avoided, as they may etch the surface over time.
- Stick to mild cleaning agents to maintain the stone’s integrity.
Regular Inspection:
- Periodically inspect your sintered stone surfaces for any signs of wear, chipping, or damage.
- Address any issues promptly to prevent further deterioration.
Sealing Not Required:
- Unlike natural stone, sintered stone does not require sealing. Its non-porous surface retains its beauty and durability without additional treatments.
Remember, sintered stone is an investment, and proper care ensures it remains a stunning part of your space.
