Routine Care
Silestone
requires very little maintenance. Simply wipe
your Silestone surface with soap and warm water
on a regular basis to maintain its beauty and
shine for years to come.
Difficult Spills
To remove difficult spills,
wipe the surface with warm water and soap. If
needed, apply a common household cleaner. For
stains that harden as they dry, such as food and
gum, remove by gently scarping off of surface
(using a blade or putty remover), and then clean
using warm water and soap.
Extreme Heat Protection
Silestone is extremely resistant
to heat, and can withstand moderately high temperatures
for brief periods of time without being damaged.
Although Silestone is more heat resistant than
any other stone surface, all stone can be damaged
by sudden and extreme temperature changes, especially
near the edges. For this reason, we recommend
using a trivet or a hot pad to protect your Silestone
surface from extreme heat.
Chemicals to Avoid
Avoid exposing your Silestone
surface to strong chemicals and solvents. Items
to avoid include: nail polish remover, permanent
markers or inks, oil soaps, and furniture cleaners
or paint strippers that contain trichlorethane
or methylene chloride. Also avoid exposing you
Silestone surface to chemicals with high alkaline/PH
levels, such as oven cleaners.
General Precautions
Although
Silestone is extremely scratch and heat resistant,
we recommend protecting your Silestone surface
by using a hot pad or trivet for extreme heat
protection, and by using a cutting board in order
to avoid damage to your knives.
