Simply clean up any spills with soap and water. For routine cleaning, use small
amount of cleaners that are non-bleach and nonabrasive along with warm water
and damp cloth on regular
basis to keep the lustrous gloss and radiant sheen of your Hanstone quartz countertop surface.
Although HanStone is resistant to stain, any type of spills should be cleaned
as soon as possible. Any liquid spills, fruits, vegetables, or other foods should
be wiped up and
cleaned with soap and water.
HanStone is designed to be extremely resistant to heat and
can withstand exposure to normal cooking environment for brief periods
of time without
being damaged. Although
HanStone is more resistant to heat compared to most of the solid surfacing materials
in the market,
all surfacing materials, including stone, can be damaged by extreme temperature
changes, whether prolonged
or sudden. Trivets and hot pads should be used when placing hot skillets, pans,
or other
heat generating
appliances on a countertop surface.
HanStone's durable solid surface is designed to withstand the normal use.
While it is resistant to scratches, cuts, and chipping, cutting directly
on HanStone
surface should be avoided. Using cutting boards and taking care not to drop or
move heavy objects
on the quartz counter surface will help to ensure the long-lasting beauty of a HanStone Quartz
Surface.
There are some chemicals which can cause damage to HanStone surface.
Avoid exposing HanStone quartz surfaces to any strong chemicals and solvents.
It is important
to note some of these chemicals and solvents can be found in household items
like paint removers, paint
and stain strippers that contain trichlorethane or methylene chloride, nail polish
removers, bleach,
furniture cleaners, oil soaps, permanent markers or inks, and chemicals with
high alkaline/PH levels (Oven Cleaners, Drain Openers, etc.) If any of
the substance listed come into contact with your HanStone Quartz Surface,
rinse
with plenty of water and follow routine cleaning procedures immediately.
For stubborn or dried spills, if routine cleaning procedures do not
work, use nonabrasive cleaning pad along with common household cleaners
like Formula 409® Glass
and Surface Cleaner*. If gum, nail polish, paint, or other substances are accidentally
allowed to adhere
to the solid quartz surface, they can be removed with the use of plastic scraper or putty
knife to gently
scrap off the substance and by following routine cleaning procedures.
HanStone uses the finest natural quartz and state of the art technologies,
making it among one of nature's hardest solid surfaces. As a result, HanStone
will keep its beauty
for years without sealing or polishing. It's also non-porous, so it won't absorb
stains
or harbor harmful bacteria. However, as general precaution, maintain your HanStone
surface
by using trivets
and cutting boards to avoid damages caused by extreme heat and scratches.
