Solid Surface Basics

Many counters have relatively low maintenance. Solid surface counters are non-porous and simple to clean. The “synthetic” stone surface will last for many years with proper care. Because the countertops are seamless, unlike laminate counters, you don’t have to worry about bacteria and grime in gaps and cracks like porous materials.

Cleaning your countertop involves a few simple steps:

Clear off any pots, pans, and objects
Dampen a microfiber cloth
Use mild dish soap and water or an ammonia-based glass cleaner
Wipe down the surface gently
Towel dry any moisture
Air dry

How can you remove difficult stains from your countertop? Use a mildly abrasive cleaner to remove any stains. You can use baking soda and water to remove stains from matte finishes. Some commercial solid surface cleaning sprays can be bought at the local grocery.

Maintenance

Once you have cleaner your countertop, keep the surface clean with a little basic maintenance. Prevent stains by keeping hot objects and strong chemicals away from your counter. Use a potholder to protect the surface from hot dishes and pots.

Always use a cutting board. A knife can easily scratch the surface permanently. Avoid dropping heavy items on the countertop. If you have permanent damage to your countertop or are ready for an upgrade, you can easily replace the counter affordably.
