Care and Cleaning

The Swanstone products are stain and abrasion
resistant; however, the finish requires reasonable care.

Because cleaning products change over time, always
check the manufacturers’ instructions to make sure it is
compatible with plastic.  DO NOT use a cleaner if the
label indicates it should not be used on plastics.  DO NOT
use spray-on cleaners that require daily use without
immediately rinsing with water to stop the chemical
cleaning reaction because damage will result and void the
warranty.

Day-To-Day Cleanup

Simply wipe the surfaces with a clean towel to remove
watermarks and residues.  All Swanstone products can
be cleaned with warm water, a soft cloth, and normal
household detergents or cleansers, such as Fantastic,
Formula 409, Clorox Clean-up, Handy Andy, Mr. Clean,
or Lestoil.  Always rinse off cleaners within five minutes
of application.

Occasional scrubbing with household abrasive cleaners
ensures that the original luster is maintained.

Caulking Joints

Inspect caulking joints monthly for damage or any signs
of separation from the mating surface.  Cracks in the
caulking will allow to leak into the surrounding surfaces.

Reapply caulking to any joint showing signs of wear
or cracking.  

Failure to inspect and repair caulking

joints will void the warranty.

Surface Repair

Light Scratches

Use 400 grit sandpaper to remove light scratches in the
surface.

Deep Scratches or Gouges

For deeper scratches or gouges, use 220 or 320 grit
sandpaper.  A “Scotchbright pad” can be used to blend
the repair into the surrounding area.
