Silestone

General Cleaning

Daily cleaner for polished, honed and textured Silestone. Any pH balanced general-purpose household cleaner may be used. Polished and honed Silestone surfaces should be wiped or scrubbed with a general cleaner (e.g. dish soap, Windex), and rinsed with clean water. Textured Silestone surfaces should be cleaned with a vacuum to remove dry particles from the "valleys" in the surface. A stiff brush may then be used to remove remaining residue followed by a thorough rinsing. A wet vac may also be used for this process.

Spot Removal
Silestone's advanced technology makes its surface extremely resistant to damaging chemicals. When necessary, you may use the following chemicals and products to remove stains and spills:

• Rubbing Alcohol
  
• Ammonia
  
• Vinegar
  
• Formula 409

Caution should be exercised in the handling and storage of any of the above chemicals/products. Manufacturer's instructions should be exercised when using and storing these products.

Difficult Spots
Adhered materials like gum, nail polish, paint, etc. When necessary, you may scrape adhered materials with a sharp edge. Difficult spots may be treated with one of the cleaners listed above. Leave the cleaner sit for up to 10 minutes. Scrub and rinse thoroughly.

Caution
Caution must be used for the following: Products containing oils or powders may leave a residue. Repetitive use of abrasive scrubs/cleaners may dull Silestone's finish. Use of oven/grill cleaner may discolour Silestone and should be avoided.
