Removing Cuts and Scratches:
Solid Surface countertops are completely renewable. Use the following instructions to remove
minor cuts and scratches.
• Sand with 180 grit sandpaper, followed by 320 grit, until the scratch is gone.
• Restore the finish using a Grey
Scotchbrite
pad. Never sand hard in one
small area. Feather out lightly to blend restoration.
Preventing Heat Damage:
Hot pans and heat-generating appliances, such as frying pans or crockpots, can damage the surface.
To prevent heat damage, always use a hot pad or a trivet with rubber feet to protect the surface.
Other Important Tips:
Avoid using strong chemicals on the Solid Surface such as paint removers or oven cleaners. If these
chemicals come in contact with the Solid Surface, quickly wash with water. Avoid contact with nail
polish or nail polish remover. If contact is made, quickly wash with water.
NOTE:
Do not cut directly on the solid surface. When pouring boiling water into the Solid
Surface sink, run cold water to prevent damage.
Laminate
Clean laminate countertops with a damp cloth or sponge. Use a spray cleaner to remove stubborn
stains. Avoid using harsh abrasives, scouring powders, peroxides or bleaches as these products may
dull or damage the surface. Avoid contact with dyes, bleaches, and indelible inks on food packages. Do not
use laminated countertops as a cutting board. Laminated countertops are resistant to minor heat; howev-
er, hot pans, irons, and lighted cigarettes will damage the surface. Use hot pads under pans taken
directly from the stovetop.
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE
Clean stainless steel once a week. Always apply stainless steel cleaner/polish with a nonabrasive
cloth or sponge, working with, not across, the grain. Do not use steel wool, wire brushes or abrasive
sponge pads. Cleaners containing chloride are not recommended. If used, rinse surface immediately to
prevent corrosion.
Allowing water to evaporate will form water deposits. To avoid this, it is important to use a dabbing
action to dry, not an abrasive or rubbing action. Cleaning with a damp sponge and drying should keep
surface looking beautiful.
