SILESTONE© CARE & MAINTENANCE

Routine Care
Silestone© requires very little maintenance. Simply wipe your Silestone© surface with soap and warm water on a regular basis to maintain its beauty and shine for years to come.

Difficult Spills
To remove difficult spills, wipe the surface with warm water and soap. If needed, apply a common household cleaner. For stains that harden as they dry, such as food and gum, remove by gently scarping off of surface (using a blade or putty remover), and then clean using warm water and soap.

Extreme Heat Protection
Silestone© is extremely resistant to heat, and can withstand moderately high temperatures for brief periods of time without being damaged. Although Silestone© is more heat resistant than any other stone surface, all stone can be damaged by sudden and extreme temperature changes, especially near the edges. For this reason, we recommend using a trivet or a hot pad to protect your Silestone© surface from extreme heat.

Chemicals to Avoid
Avoid exposing your Silestone© surface to strong chemicals and solvents. Items to avoid include: nail polish remover, permanent markers or inks, oil soaps, and furniture cleaners or paint strippers that contain trichlorethane or methylene chloride. Also avoid exposing you Silestone© surface to chemicals with high alkaline/PH levels, such as oven cleaners.

General Precautions
Although Silestone© is extremely scratch and heat resistant, we recommend protecting your Silestone© surface by using a hot pad or trivet for extreme heat protection, and by using a cutting board in order to avoid damage to your knives.
