Solid Surface Countertops Care and Maintenance

Solid Surfaces may be cleaned with warm water and mild soaps, such as those used for
hands or dishes. Nonabrasive household cleaners such as Fantastik and Formula 409 may
also be used. Cleaning products containing bleaching agents should not be used on solid
surface. Large quantities of these agents and extended periods of exposure may cause
discoloration. Abrasive cleaners (such as Comet, Soft Scrub, Bon Ami, etc.) should not
be used on solid surface except for removing tough stains, minor scratches and burns.
If a stain develops on the surface, wipe it away with soap and water or glass cleaner. If a
stain doesn’t respond to soap and water, and your surface has a matte finish, apply an
abrasive cleanser and buff with a Scotch-Brite pad using a circular motion. The same
technique can be used for cigarette burns, minor cuts and scratches. For a gloss finish,
you should contact Excel Cabinets before attempting repairs.
Do not expose the surface to harsh chemicals, such as paint remover, turpentine, nail
polish remover (acetone) or stove and drain cleansers. If these chemicals come in contact
with the surface, immediately wash them off with water, using appropriate safety
measures to avoid injury.
Always use a cutting board instead of cutting directly on the surface. While minor cuts
and scratches can be repaired, care should be taken to prevent them in order to keep the
surface looking good as new.
Hot pans and heat-producing appliances (frying pans, baking pans, electric skillets,
crock-pots, coffee pots, etc.) must be placed on a trivet with legs.
