Corian
®
Solid Surface Countertops
Corian
®
was developed for a lifetime of easy care.
Following the simple guidelines below will keep
your Corian
®
surface looking as new as the day it
was installed.
Routine Care
Soapy water, ammonia-based cleaners or commercial
solid surface cleaners, if used routinely, will remove
most dirt and residue from the countertop.
Minor Cuts and Scratches
Rub the scratch in a straight line with a fi ne grit sand
paper periodically switch rubbing direction 90
o
until
all of the scratch is removed. Rinse top with water.
Select the next lighter grit paper and rub over a large
area to blend in the sanding. Continue the process
using successively fi ner grits until desired gloss level
is achieved. Wipe surface with damp cloth and let
dry.
Heat Damage
Corian
®
has excellent heat resistant properties.
However, as with all countertop materials, it is
important to minimize direct exposure to intense heat.
We recommend the use of trivets or hot pads when
placing hot objects on the countertop.
Other Damage
In most cases Corian
®
can be repaired if accidentally
damaged. However, to prevent any permanent
damage to your countertop avoid exposing the
surface to strong chemicals, such as paint removers,
oven cleaners, nail polish remover, etc. If contact
occurs quickly fl ush the surface with water. Avoid
cutting directly on the countertop.
Refurbishing
Over time and use your countertop may acquire a
patina, changing the appearance of the fi nish. Using
a general countertop polish rub the entire surface in
a circular motion, rinse with clear water and wipe
dry.
Maintaining Your Teak
The teak accents (optional tables and cabin entry
steps) in your boat are constructed with natural teak
which requires virtually no maintenance beyond a
frequent wash down with saltwater and occasional
oil rubbing.
Teak expands when wet and shrinks when dry. If
allowed to dry completely, the mating surfaces
between the planks will be put under stress.
