Fixing Scratches in Stained Woodwork:
Light scratches will often disappear when
carefully rubbed with furniture polish or paste
wax. When scratches appear lighter than the
surrounding dark-stained woodwork, it usually
means either that the scratch is deeper than the
stain and into the wood or that the varnish is
flaking off. Deeper scratches can be hidden by
carefully rubbing with a piece of oily nut meat
such as Brazil nut, black walnut or pecan. Be
careful to rub the nut meat directly into the
scratch to avoid darkening the surrounding
wood. Color the scratch with brown coloring
crayon or liquid shoe dye (especially good
on walnut). Always test a procedure on an
inconspicuous area on the wood to ensure no
damage to the finish occurs.
Staining the scratch with iodine:
Mahogany - Use new iodine.
Brown or Cherry Mahogany - Use iodine
that has turned dark brown.
Maple - Dilute one part iodine with one part
denatured alcohol.
Commercial scratch removers, or stick wax
to match the wood finish, can also be used.
After the scratch has been hidden, polish or
wax the entire area. Deep scratches should be
repaired and finished by a professional.
Dents:
Small dents may be repaired by using steam.
To raise a small dent, place a damp cloth over
the area and hold a medium-hot iron on it. The
steam causes the wood fibers to swell back
into place. It may be necessary to repeat this
process until the dented area is level with the
surface. Allow the area to dry.
Restoring the Clear Finish:
The finished surface on the wood is a clear
lacquer coating. The lacquer finish can be
repaired should the finish become dulled or
scratched. Scratches extending into the wood
will require wood repair by filling the damaged
area. If there is light damage, the wood can be
steamed to bring the wood surface level.
Lacquer finish sheen can be restored by
carefully using 0000 steel wool or equivalent.
Sand damaged lacquer with fine sandpaper.
Once the scratched surface is smooth, apply
a clear lacquer coating using an aerosol.
Lacquer can be applied by cloth or brush, but
best results are obtained from an aerosol. If
necessary, use 0000 steel wool or equivalent to
bring out the luster and smooth overspray.
POISON:
Use top coats and finishes in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
safety instructions. Use only in
well ventilated areas with proper
respiratory filters and masks.
Re-staining the wood:
If bare wood is visible at the bottom of the
scratch, the wood will need to be re-stained.
To remove damaged varnish, lightly roughen a
small area around the scratch with sandpaper,
steel wool or synthetic steel wool. Find a stain
that is a shade lighter than the wood finish.
Stain the bare wood with a very small amount
of stain on a rag, brush or cotton swab. If the
color is too light, apply additional coats. Rub
away excess stain with a dry rag. If the wood
becomes too dark, use a rag moistened in
mineral spirits to lighten the wood. Select a
lighter color stain and continue.
Several companies have simplified this repair
process by designing oil-based wood stain into
marker-like containers to rub on the scratch.
Torn and scratched wood fibers will absorb
stain and darken quickly. Start with a stain
color that is lighter than the original finish. A
second coat can always be applied if the color
of the first coat is too light. Once the color is
blended, patch the clear finish as described
above and apply a wipe-on finish.

Solid Surface
Routine Care:
The solid surface countertops have a matte/
satin finish. Soapy water or ammonia-based
cleaners will remove most dirt and stains from
all tops and bowls. Individual techniques may
be used to remove different stains. Follow the
recommendations below.
NOTE:
Do not cut directly on the solid surface.
Cleaning the Countertops:
Most dirt and stains: Use soapy water or
ammonia-based cleaner.
Water marks:
Wipe with damp cloth and
towel dry.
Difficult stains: Use Soft Scrub ® and a
gray Scotchbrite ® pad. If Scotchbrite is used,
buffing may be necessary to restore finish.
Disinfecting: Occasionally wipe surface
with diluted household bleach (one part water
and one part bleach).
