Guide to Do’s & Don’ts with Solid surfaces
Do
• Always clean your work top regularly. We would advise using mild soapy water, rinsed, then dried with a soft
clean cloth.
• Clear spillages on your work tops, wipe off using a kitchen towel. Many food products contain acids and
colourings which if left, can dull or stain the appearance of your surfaces.
• Wipe down your tops after use as this will reduce the risk of lime scale build up.
• Always use a chopping board when preparing food.
• Avoid impacts with heavy objects as they will chip edges. Place things carefully in under mount sinks avoiding the
stone edges.
