Artificial stone
Artificial stone is one of the most hygienic materials because of its non-porous structure. Food, dirt and bacteria do not penetrate its surface. There are three types of work surfaces made of artificial stone: high gloss, semi-gloss and matt silky.
1. Soap, water and a sponge remove dirt and stains of all types.
2. A slightly different technique is used to remove stubborn stains depending on the type of the surface. In all cases, water is wiped with a towel.
3. Water spots on the matt-silky surface can be cleaned with a wet cloth. Small stains are simply washed with soapy water or ammonia-containing detergents. To remove stubborn stains, use abrasive scouring powders (e.g. VIM, Ajax, etc.) and a green sponge Scotch-Brite.
To add shining wipe a sponge lightly in circular movements. To disinfect wash the surface periodically with a solution of household bleach (1 part water, 1 part bleach).
4. On a semi-gloss surface use bleach, non-abrasive cleaning paste (such as Soft Scrub, VIM, Ajax, CIF, etc.) or a bleach solution and a white sponge Scotch-Brite to remove stubborn stains in light circular movements. If you want to enhance the gloss and color, use a non-abrasive polishing paste and wipe with a paper towel or cloth.
5. On a highly glossy surface, use the same procedure as on a semi-gloss, but instead of abrasive, use a simple sponge.
6. You can use a white polishing blend for removing stubborn stains with a soft cloth (also in light circular movements). In this case, it may be necessary to polish the entire surface in order to restore the uniform glossy surface.
