Granite, Marble & Corian After Care & Maintenance
Granite
1: Regularly clean surfaces with warm water and washing up liquid. Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth. Alternatively you can use the "super-cleaner" in the after care kit.
2: Wipe up spills immediately. Pay particular attention to the tap area. It is very difficult to remove limescale from granite.
3: Take care with olive and cooking oils which may soak into the worktop, particulary when hot.
4: Take care with acidic and spirit based products, such as wine, fruit juices etc. as they may etch into the surface.
5: Take care with strongly coloured foodstuff such as beetroot, tomato and blackcurrant as these can stain surfaces.
6: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring powders, wire wool etc.
7: Do not use chlorine based cleaners, oven cleaners, acid, alkalis or any strong chemical such as caustic soda, paint stripper, oven cleaner, nail varnish remover, degreasant or similar products.
8: Do not cut food on the granite - it may scratch the surface and will blunt the knife.
9: The granite surface can be protected by using the products in our "after care kit"; alternatively, Lakeland Plastics sell a product called "Granite Cleaner", wich can be used on a regular basis to help protect the surface of the stone.
