How to maintain the countertop of the cabinet

1. Keep the surface of the countertop as dry as possible, and avoid long-term soaking of the refractory board and countertop to prevent Deformation of the glue. Artificial stone countertops should prevent the bleach and scale in the water from making the countertop lighter and affecting its appearance.

2. Prevent strong chemicals from contacting countertops, such as degreasers, metal cleaners, stove cleaners, methylene chloride, acetone (nail polish removers), strong acid cleaners, etc. If you accidentally come into contact with the above items, immediately wash the surface with plenty of soapy water.

3. Oversized or overweight utensils should not be placed on the countertop for a long time; do not rinse them with cold water and then immediately scald them with boiling water.

4. Clean it with soapy water or a detergent containing ammonia (such as detergent). For the scale, you can use a damp cloth to remove the scale and then wipe it with a dry cloth. Do not use steel wool to wipe and clean the countertop, and use a scouring pad for daily maintenance.

If it is accidentally spilled on the countertop, please quickly rinse it with clean water or soapy water. If dark liquid such as soy sauce, vinegar, cola, ink, etc. is spilled on the countertop, wipe it off with a cleaning cloth or scouring pad in time. Please keep the countertop clean and dry. Water contains a lot of bleaching agent and scale, if it stays on the countertop for too long, it can form stubborn dirt. And oil stains or other dirt can also cause erosion to the countertop.

6. Do not place high temperature objects on the table for a long time. Do not put high-temperature heating utensils (hot pot, hot pot, electric stove, etc.) directly on the table. Please use heat-insulating wooden pads or thick rubber pads as a backing board on the countertop. Do not place the stove on the countertop directly on the countertop, but use a heat shield.

7. Do not allow heavy or sharp objects to directly impact the surface; do not use the countertop as a cutting board, and do not chop bones directly on the countertop. In special circumstances, please use a cutting board with a thick towel.
