Question 2

Are Caesarstone Porcelain surfaces hygienic?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

What products to avoid in protecting porcelain?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Which cleaning products are suitable for porcelain?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Cleaning for Porcelain finishes

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 40

What is Quartz?

Accepted Answer

Quartz surfaces are man-made engineered stones, combining up to 90% raw quartz crystals with numerous resin binders and dashes of pigment dyes, all pressed together using innovative patented technology that produces a range of incredibly durable and superbly beautiful quartz surfaces.

Expanding on the patented 1970s Breton system, Caesarstone pioneered the market segment of quartz surfaces, worldwide, proven to be highly improved alternatives to natural stone, such as marble and granite.

Quartz mineral is as common as sand, yet tougher than steel, with a hardness of 7 compared with the 10 of a diamond (Mohs scale). Resistant to stains, scratches and cracks, quartz is impervious to heat and cold and to common household chemicals.

Quartz surfaces combine form and function, allowing for the most diverse, durable, and practical applications. Our surfaces retain the cool, tactile qualities of natural stone, while offering design freedom with almost unlimited application possibilities in hygienic, durable, and beautiful surfaces.

Question 43

How do I clean quartz surfaces regularly?

Accepted Answer

For everyday routine cleaning, a splash of warm water and soap or a mild detergent will do. Plant oil-based soaps should be avoided. Our surfaces are extremely strong, nonporous, and stain resistant, so just wipe with a soft cloth or dipped in warm soapy water or use our convenient Soft Scrub Gel, then rinse with water and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. For tougher blemishes, apply a non-abrasive cleaner such as Soft Scrub® Liquid Gel with Bleach or a mild degreaser on a damp cloth and wipe the surface. Rinse with warm water to wash away the residue and dry with paper towel, and your surface is as good as new! It is recommended to do a deep cleaning once a month to prevent patina build up. It’s always good to wipe away wet spills immediately, to prevent a patina from building up.
