Step-by-Step Care

First Cleaning After Installation

Clean the whole surface thoroughly after installation with soapy water and a microfiber cloth or non-abrasive scourer.
Dry the surface thoroughly with a paper towel.

Daily Maintenance

We recommend wiping the surface with warm, soapy water, a mild detergent, and a clean damp cloth.
Remove stains as soon as possible for easy cleaning and practical, immediate results.
To prevent Patina build-up, it is essential to thoroughly wash cleaning material residue off the surface and dry thoroughly with paper towels.

Heat Resistance

You can place cookware directly on Porcelain countertops straight from the oven or the cooktop. However, devices that emit constant heat over a long period should be placed on an insulated mat and not directly on the Porcelain surface.

Stubborn Stains

Gently rub the area using a soft cloth or paper towel with an approved cleaner.
Clean a larger area in a circular motion than the stain.
Rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Repeat this process if the stain is still visible.

How to Take Long-term Care of Your Porcelain Surface

Do not use hydrofluoric acid or materials containing it.
Before using any new cleaning product, check on a small, inconspicuous area that is effective and does not damage the surface.
After using any cleaning product, removing any residue with water is essential.
It is important to immediately wipe up liquids spilled on the surface for ease of stain removal.
Do not use oil-based cleaning or polishing materials, as these can leave an oily film on the surface and make it more sensitive to staining.
If the surface comes into contact with any products that might damage it, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Carefully scrape off dried materials such as food, gum, or nail polish with a putty knife and then clean the surface with a damp cloth.
Caesarstone Porcelain surfaces are highly resistant to scratches. However, we recommend cutting on a chopping board for daily use.
Do not allow direct contact with a naked flame.
Do not polish the surface with a polishing machine.
Take care to prevent hard knocks on exposed areas, particularly edges, as this can cause breaks and chips.

Additional Guidance for Dark Surfaces

Dark surfaces are more prone to showing fingerprints, patina, and other signs of daily living than light surfaces. As such, some dark Porcelain models may need more frequent cleaning.

Dark Porcelain colors, like all dark surfaces, tend to be more sensitive to scratch marks. It is therefore essential to protect the surface from sharp objects.
Patina is more visible in the dark than in light colors, so liquid should be wiped up and not left to dry out on the surface.

Most of the marks can be removed with little effort and non-abrasive cleaning products, such as Soft Scrub Liquid Gel.

Top Care and Maintenance FAQ

Are Caesarstone Porcelain surfaces hygienic?

Your surface is engineered to be highly nonporous; as such, it is non-absorbent and does not host bacteria, mould, or mildew. As a result, it remains safe and fresh for ultimate cleanliness. 

What products to avoid in protecting porcelain?

Avoid strong chemicals and solvents and strong acids or alkalis, oxidizers or similar materials, regardless of pH.

Avoid harsh cleaning products such as oven/grill cleaners, dishwasher detergent, floor strippers, oil soaps, paint removers/strippers, etc. or any products containing trichloroethane or methylene chloride

Avoid products containing oils as they may leave a residue. You should rinse all products off thoroughly

If the surface comes into contact with any products that might damage it, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

Check each cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t damage the surface.

Which cleaning products are suitable for porcelain?

Use recommended cleaning products and checked the product first by applying it to an inconspicuous area on the surface. It’s best to avoid using the same cloth you use for washing dishes, as it may transfer oils and other contaminants to your surface.

Do not use oven grill cleaners, floor strippers, toilet bowl cleaners, oil soaps, tarnish removers, furniture cleaners, drain products, wipes and cleaners specific to granite, marble, and other natural stones, etc. Should your surface accidentally be exposed to any potentially damaging products, rinse immediately with water to neutralize the effect.

Cleaning for Porcelain finishes

Honed and Ultra Rough finishes are more prone to metal marks, fingerprints, and other signs of daily use, which can easily be removed with non-abrasive cleaning products such as Soft Scrub Liquid Gel.

Cleaning for Honed, Concrete and Rough Finishes

Please note that Honed, Concrete and Rough finishes require more cleaning than our Polished finishes. Since there is more exposed surface area with these finishes, metal marks, fingerprints and other signs of daily living will show. Most of these marks can be removed with little effort and non-abrasive cleaning products such as Soft Scrub Liquid Gel.
