Care and Cleaning

 

Cabinets should be cleaned with a clean damp soft cloth with a mild detergent. Adjust hinges and drawers when necessary.

 

To reduce warping, movement or splitting, avoid sudden temperature changes and keep the relative humidity level between 30% and 50%. Humidity variations can cause wooden doors to shift and hinge adjustment may be necessary a couple of times a year as the seasons change.

 

Thermoplastic (PVC) cabinets are not resistant to extreme heat. The kettle, toaster, coffeemaker and toaster oven need to be used away from thermoplastic-covered doors to prevent high heat from reaching them.

 

These materials do not tolerate water. All spills should be wiped up immediately to prevent penetration into the material and swelling.

 

To clean a laminated surface, you need only wipe it down with a cloth dampened in a mild detergent. Rinse well and dry thoroughly.

For those really stubborn stains, make a sodium bicarbonate paste with a little water. Using a soft brush, rub the stain in a circular motion. Rinse and wipe dry. Remember that excessive rubbing may damage or dull the surface.

 

Laminates are easy to care for, but can be scratched and scorched. It is better to avoid cutting directly on the surface and not to place hot pots or pans right on the countertop.

 

Everyday care of granite countertops simply requires cleaning with water and mild dish detergent. Rinse and wipe dry.

 

We recommend using a special granite cleaner about once a week. This will protect it and make it shine again.

 

Although granite can tolerate high temperatures briefly, it is better to protect it by placing hot utensils and pans on pot holders.

 

To preserve the appearance of the finish, simply clean it with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Difficult stains can be removed with an all-purpose cleaner or detergent. Stubborn stains will disappear when rubbed with a soft scouring sponge such as a Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser®. Liquid cleaners like bleach may be suitable for stains that are more difficult to remove.

 

Since quartz is not porous, you will never need to apply a sealant. Quartz can tolerate high temperatures briefly, so it is best to place hot utensils and pans on pot holders.

 

To remove stains, simply clean it with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. For more stubborn stains, rub the surface with a scouring powder to restore the Corian counter’s initial appearance.

     

To repair scratches, first use a 120-140 emery paper, followed by 320-400 fine sand paper, then finish with a scouring sponge.

   

Make sure you always place hot utensils, pots and pans on heat resistant pads.

   

Although Corian is extremely tough, it was not designed as a cutting surface. It is therefore better to use a cutting board.

 

These wooden countertops are initially finished with Bizzz beeswax in our factory. After that, we suggest you repeat the treatment as needed.

 

Bizzz beeswax is a food-safe protective coating with a beeswax and oil base. It can be applied to all wooden surfaces used to prepare or store foodstuffs. It has a very pleasant aroma and is easy to apply with a cloth. Bizzz protects wood in two ways. First, the oil penetrates the wood and prevents it from splitting. Then, the wax that stays on the surface makes it impermeable and fills any cracks that might trap bits of food.
