Silestone ® CARE & MAINTENANCE
SILESTONE ® Routine Care Silestone requires very little maintenance. Simply wipe your Silestone surface with soap and warm water on a regular basis to maintain its beauty and shine for years to come. Any pH balanced general-purpose household cleaner may be used. (E.g. Dawn Dish Soap, Windex®) Advanced Cleaning GREASE STAINS For grease stains, apply a small amount of Formula 409, Windex, or other common house-hold cleaner to the stain and rub with a non-scratch scouring pad (e.g. Scotch-Brite).
Difficult Spills Silestone’s advanced technology makes its surface resistant to damaging chemicals. To remove difficult spills, wipe the surface with Dawn dish soap, scrub with a Scotch-Brite non-scratch scouring pad and rinse with warm water. For stains that harden as they dry (food, gum, nail polish, paint) remove by gently scraping the surface using a razor blade or putty knife, holding upright so as not to scratch the surface. Then clean using warm water and soap.
Chemicals to Avoid Precautions Avoid exposing your Silestone surface to strong chemicals and solvents. Items to avoid include: nail polish remover, permanent markers or inks, oil soaps, and furniture cleaners or paint strippers that contain trichloroethane or methylene chloride. Also avoid exposing your Silestone surface to chemicals with high alkaline/PH levels, such as oven cleaners. Caution must be used for the following: DO NOT PLACE SILESTONE OUTDOORS OR IN PLACES WITH UV LIGHTING.
