Care & Maintenance
Worktops surfaces
Moisture
The high-pressure laminate is impervious to water. However the core is water-resistant but not waterproof therefore any incidental spillage should be wiped up immediately to avoid water ingress.
Heat
The high-pressure laminate will withstand temperatures approaching 100%C. However we would recommend always using a suitable protection against direct contact with excessive heat.
Scratching
The worktops are extremely durable to the normal every day working life. Extra care should be taken with sharp cutlery or kitchen utensils, which may cause scratches. We would recommend a protective mat or board be used when chopping items.
Cleaning
Easily maintained with regular cleaning using water and a mild detergent. Stubborn stains may be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner. Never use abrasive cleaners, oven cleaners or scouring pads.
Slight stains
Wipe with a dry or damp cloth.
