Care and Maintenance
Use & Care
Some household chemicals are surprisingly strong such as acetone or bleach. Please do not expose your Tuscan worksurface for prolonged periods to products of this type. If they do come into contact with your worksurface, wipe them off immediately followed by a thorough rinse with clean soapy water. Finish off by buffing with a microfibre cloth.
Do not allow your Tuscan worksurface to come into any contact with oven cleaners, paint remover, paint brush cleaners, drain cleaners or any similar products.
Do not chop directly onto the worksurface. Always use a separate chopping board for this purpose, just as you should with any worksurface to prevent scratching.
While offering heat resistant properties, we recommend you protect your Tuscan worksurface with protective pads, stainless steel trivets or hob bars. Never place hot ovenware, pots or pans directly onto the surface.
Cuts, Scratches & Stains
One of the key benefits of Tuscan solid surface material is that it can be repaired and refurbished. To remove cuts, scratches or stains please refer to the Care & Maintenance guidelines or contact a professional who can carry the work out for you.
Cleaning
Full cleaning instructions are given in our separate Care & Maintenance Guide which is included with every worktop. They can also be downloaded at tuscanworksurfaces.co.uk. A few helpful guidelines are however:
For everyday cleaning, use soapy water and a damp cloth to wipe over the worksurface. Then buff with a good quality cloth to bring up the shine on the surface. Food and liquid spills should always be wiped up immediately.
Periodically, we recommend cleaning with an approved solid surface cleaner which builds a harmless but protective film on the worksurface. This helps to protect the surface from stains and maintains its lustrous appearance. If you have chosen a dark coloured worksurface, then it requires more regular application than light colours.
We also recommend the application of Worktop Guard by Nanoinduro, a specially formulated surface protector system for solid surface and granite worksurfaces.
