Maintenance doesn\u2019t necessarily mean high maintenance, as long as you know what you\u2019re doing and you know your stone well enough. You need to know exactly how to scrub and sanitize without compromising or damaging the elegant finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Here is your complete guide to maintaining your Caesarstone quartz, Dekton, and Sensa granite:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\"><b>Caesarstone<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For everyday, routine cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and warm soapy water, a mild detergent, or a quality spray to maintain its luster. Thoroughly dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. For consistent shine, wipe countertops in a broad circular motion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Spilled oil, vinegar, soy sauce, curry, turmeric powder, red wine, food coloring, makeup, ink, permanent markers, and metal marks from keys are not an issue either. Add a cleanser with oxalic acid to a non-abrasive sponge and wipe gently. Remember to rinse and wipe dry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Caesarstone surfaces are extremely strong and durable, but they are not indestructible. Don\u2019t use abrasive sponges on your surfaces, and avoid using harsh chemicals or sharp objects directly on your surface.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you\u2019re looking to use environmentally-safe cleaners you can use a combination of 50\/50 vinegar and water.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\"><b>Dekton<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dekton requires very little maintenance. Simply wipe your Dekton surface by using a non-abrasive sponge with soap and warm water on a regular basis to maintain its beauty and shine for years to come. In addition, any pH-balanced general-purpose cleaner may be used. (e.g. dish soap).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To remove di<\/span><span class=\"s2\">\ufb03<\/span><span class=\"s1\">cult spills, wipe the surface with soap and scrub with a Scotch Brite pad, then rinse with warm water. For stains that harden as they dry, such as food, gum, nail polish, and paint, remove by gently scraping o<\/span><span class=\"s2\">\ufb00<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> of surface (using a blade or putty knife \/putty remover), and then clean using warm water and soap. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Avoid exposing your Dekton surface to strong chemicals and solvents for an extended period of time. Although it is stain-proof to many household cleaners, it is never advised to leave these cleaners on your surface for an extended period of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\"><b>Sensa<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sensa stones are virtually maintenance-free; they are easy to clean and the treatment has a 15-year transferable warranty. For regular cleaning, wipe with soap and warm water or a mild household cleanser. Wipe up spills as soon as possible and dry the surface quickly. Always avoid using bleach and abrasive cleaners. Do not use polishes or waxes. Do not use highly acidic cleaners as they may damage the surface layer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Once you set a regular cleaning schedule for yourself, you can follow our simple, handy guide to ensure your stone surfaces maintain their appeal.
