Caesarstone is made with high-performance, stain-resistant polymers, so your new countertop will be very easy to maintain.  The durable surface of Caesarstone is non-porous, so you can enjoy the beauty of natural stone without the worries.  Unlike ordinary stone, Caesarstone is extremely resistant to chemicals, scratches, and stains. With routine care, Caesarstone will maintain its luster and beauty for many years.

REGULAR CLEANING OF CAESARSTONE

To clean Caesarstone, a damp cloth or paper towel is usually all you need.  To clean up sticky spots, a little liquid detergent can help.  As with any countertop, it makes sense to clean up spills as soon as you can.  But rest assured, Caesarstone can withstand exposure to tea, soda, wine, vinegar, lemon juice, and fruits and vegetables without permanently staining like ordinary stone.

CLEANING STUBBORN OR DRIED SPILLS FROM CAESERSTONE

For stubborn or dried spills, Soft Scrub is an effective cleanser.  You can use it daily without damaging Caeserstone.  For extremely stubborn spills, a green scrub pad such as a Scotch-Brite pad can be used without damaging your countertop.  Be sure to rinse thoroughly to remove any hazy residue that will diminish the shine and beauty of your countertop.

Note: Avoid using cleansers that contain bleach.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and exercise proper care when handling and storing any cleaning products.

SPOT REMOVAL

For spot removal (food, grease, gum, nail polish, paint, etc.), first gently scrape away the excess with a razor blade or putty knife.  However, Caesarstone is much harder than a steel blade, so excessive scraping on the surface may leave a gray metal mark on the countertop. 

Not to worry, just clean the area with one of the recommended cleansers - Soft Scrub, Lysol, or Whirl - and a green scrub pad. 

Any residue from the spot and any metal marks should both quickly disappear.

For heavier or more stubborn spots, soak a pad of paper towel in water and cleanser.  Apply to the spot and let soak for two to five minutes.  Scour with a green pad and cleanser.  Rinse thoroughly.

POLISHING CAESERSTONE

Because Caesarstone is non-porous, you don’t need to worry about using sealants or waxes as you would with ordinary stone.  Caesarstone will keep its lustrous gloss and ultra-smooth surface without polishing.  However, some people like to polish their Caesarstone countertops every few weeks for a shine that is even more brilliant.  Regular polishing cannot harm Ceasarstone.  In fact, occasional polishing can enhance stain resistance and ease of cleaning.

For polishing, Soft Scrub provides excellent results.

NO SURFACE IS INDESTRUCTIBLE

As any surface, Caesarstone can be damaged by exposure to strong chemicals and solvents.  Do not use products containing trichlorethane or methylene chloride, such as paint removers or furniture strippers.  Avoid abrasive cleaners containing high alkaline/pH levels higher than 8.5; liquid bluing, nail polish remover, and oil soaps can also damage your Caesarstone countertop.

In the event of accidental exposure to any of these damaging products, thoroughly rinse with water as soon as possible.  Ceaserstone tolerates moderately hot temperatures for brief periods of time without warping, discoloration or melting (150 degrees C).  An accidentally misplaced hot pot will not ruin the surface; however, it is recommended to avoid very hot pots from direct contact with the Caesarstone surface.

ENJOY!

Caeserstone is made to give the best of both worlds - all the natural wonder of stone without the worry. With Caeserstone countertops, you’ll enjoy many years of natural beauty and easy care.
