Worktop Maintenance Tips; Expert Suggestions From Work-Tops:

Worktop Maintenance Tips

Avoid Harsh Cleaners

Do not use abrasive scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, or vinegar, as they can scratch or etch the surface of many worktop materials.

Regular Sealing (for Porous Materials)

If you have a natural stone like granite or marble, it's important to have it sealed regularly to prevent stains and moisture absorption. The frequency of sealing depends on the specific stone and usage. Consult your installer or manufacturer for guidance.

Heat Protection

Always use trivets or hot pads under hot pots, pans, and cookware to protect your worktop from heat damage. Even heat-resistant materials like quartz can be affected by extreme temperatures.

Prevent Scratches

Use cutting boards or chopping blocks when preparing food. Avoid cutting directly on the worktop surface to prevent scratches.
