SANTA MARGHERITA
Maintenance All SANTAMARGHERITA® quartz surfaces used as counter tops are highly resistant to scratches, show low water absorption and are highly resistant to acid fluids normally found in kitchens and bathrooms. The surface, expecially in polished finish, does not retain dirt and is easy to clean. SANTAMARGHERITA® quartz is a superior product made of 93% natural silica, 7% polyester resin and coloured pigments. The specific combination of these materials has allowed us to create a superior material with a wide variety of shades, grit distribution and background colours whilst maintaining superior technical qualities. Quartz surfaces do not need to be protected with wax or sealants. For routine cleaning use a damp cloth with water and a neutral pH detergent: a good quality detergent for marble surface is ideal (it is important that the detergent has no wax content). When choosing your detergent, avoid aggressive high acid or high alkaline cleaners as these are not suitable for quartz. We recommend the use of trivets to avoid continued exposure of SANTAMARGHERITA® quartz surfaces to sources of heat (pots, pans or hot dishes). We recommend the use of chopping boards when cutting and preparing food. CHEMICALS TO AVOID Avoid exposing any SANTAMARGHERITA® quartz surface to chemicals and solvents, expecially paint remover, oven cleaners or furniture strippers containing trichloroethane or methylene chloride. Keep nail polish remover, bleach or cleanser that contain bleach, laundry bluing, permanent markers, inks and oil soaps away from the surface. If any of the substances listed above come into contact with SANTAMARGHERITA® quartz surface, rinse it immediately and thoroughly with water. |
CAESAR STONE Its hard, nonporous surface makes CaesarStone simple to clean. In most cases, soap and water or a mild detergent is all that is required to maintain its luster. If necessary, apply common, non-abrasive, household cleaners such as Soft Scrub Liquid Gel with Bleach or Comet Soft Cleanser Cream With Bleach directly on a damp cloth or sponge and wipe the surface, rinsing thoroughly after cleaning. To remove adhered material such as food, gum, or nail polish, first scrape away the excess material with a plastic putty knife and then clean the surface with a damp cloth to remove any marks left behind and any residual dirt. Please understand that HONED, TEXTURED and MOTIVO finishes will require more daily maintenance than our polished finishes. Since there is more exposed surface area with honed finishes, metal marks, finger prints and other signs of daily living will show on honed material. Most of these marks can be easily removed with little effort and non-abrasive cleaning products such as Soft Scrub Liquid Gel. CaesarStone prides itself in providing our customers a virtually care-free surface, but as with any product, excessive abuse can harm its finish. With a small amount of care, your CaesarStone surface will look as great as the day you bought it for years to come. |

SAMSUNG The secrets of radiant counter tops. With a small amount of care and maintenance, Samsung Radianz™ quartz countertops can continue to look as good as the day they were installed for decades. They are scratch and stain resistant, meaning that the normal day to day activities that occurs on or near our surfaces will have very little, or no, effect. That makes them an invaluable and practical choice for kitchen or bathroom counter tops. However, there are due precautions to bear in mind in terms of preventing damages.
For routine cleaning
Apply a non-abrasive household cleaner and rinse to remove residue. For dried liquids, foods and any hardened marks, remove by gently scraping the surface with a plastic putty knife or a non-abrasive Scotch-Brite® pad, and then use a damp cloth to lift any residual stains and marks.
