Countertops
-
From Staron / Samsung
Routine Cleaning of Countertops and Sinks - Use soap and water or an ammonia-based cleanser (such
as glass cleanser). Wipe away water stains with a damp cloth and sponge dry with a towel.
Removing Difficult Stains – Use an abrasive cleanser and a green Scotch-Brite® pad. Rub in a circular
motion.
Disinfecting Surfaces and Sinks - Occasionally wipe sinks and bowls with diluted household bleach (one
to one bleach and water solution) to disinfect.
Removing Cuts and Scratches – Sand with 400 grit (30 micron) sandpaper; restore finish with a
nonabrasive cleanser and a white Scotch-Brite® pad. Any sanding and polishing should be done in a
circular motion.
Preventing Damage – In most cases, Staron can be easily repaired. However, follow these guidelines to
prevent any permanent damage.
•
Heat damage - Even though Staron has an excellent heat resistant property compared
with other ordinary countertops, placing hot pans, as well as some heat-generating
appliances such as frying pans or crock-pots can damage a Staron surface. Always use
a hot pad or a trivet with rubber feet to protect Staron. Avoid long-term exposure of
Staron to temperatures over 170˚ F (80˚ C).
•
Other Damage - Avoid exposing Staron to strong chemicals such as paint removers and
oven cleaners. Surfaces exposed to these chemicals should be promptly flushed with
water. Contact over a long period of time will cause spots and require extensive sanding.
Any sanding and polishing should be done in a circular motion.
o
Do not cut directly on a Staron surface. Use a cutting board.
o
Run cold water when pouring boiling water into sinks.
o
Remove nail polish with a non-acetone based nail polish remover and
flush with water.
