Cabinet countertop maintenance tips

In home life, cabinets are used more frequently than furniture.

â–  Maintenance method

Artificial stone countertop to avoid uneven stress

Advantages: Refers to acrylic stone countertops, which have the advantages of seamless splicing, changeable shapes, diverse colors, easy polishing, polishing and repairing.

Disadvantages: The artificial stone countertop has a slightly lower hardness. If you do not pay attention when placing the tableware, or drag the pot directly on the countertop, it will leave scratches after a long time. Long-term placement of overheated cookware will also tarnish the countertop. If a dark liquid (such as soy sauce, vinegar, etc.) is spilled on the countertop, it is not cleaned in time. After a long time, the stain penetrates into the countertop and is difficult to wipe off. When placing heavy objects on the table, if the force is uneven, it may cause cracks on the table. When chopping vegetables, especially when chopping meat, the chopping board used is too small, which can also cause local stress. In addition, if the countertop pad is made of wood, you should also pay attention to moisture. The wooden strip on one side absorbs water and expands, which can also cause uneven stress on the countertop, resulting in cracks.

Maintenance: After the artificial stone countertop is easy to repair, if scratches or stains infiltrate, you can ask a dedicated maintenance person to polish it, or you can use special water sandpaper to polish it. When there is a crack, it is generally glued with stone before grinding.

Moisture proof and regularly polished and waxed.

Tip: It is recommended that consumers use artificial stone countertops for two or three months, first wipe the surface clean with a rag, then wipe the countertop with a sponge dipped in floor wax, let it dry for five to ten minutes, and then perform a second waxing. Make the countertop shiny as new.

Quartz stone countertops regularly waxed

Advantages: Quartz stone is a new type of stone synthesized by more than 90% of quartz crystals plus resin and other trace elements. It has the characteristics of hard texture, dirt resistance, wear resistance and high temperature resistance.

Disadvantages: Quartz stone countertops have high density and hardness, and are subject to bumps and other problems, which are not easy to repair.

Maintenance: When using quartz stone countertops, if overheating appliances are placed for a long time, such as a freshly cooked pan, thermal expansion and contraction will cause molecular changes in the material. Over time, local countertops will turn yellow and lose gloss or cracks. It is best to place a small piece of pan pad or shelf on the countertop to prevent the overheated pot bottom from directly contacting the countertop. Before placing the hot pot, let it cool for a few minutes.

Tip: The countertop should be waxed regularly.

Natural stone countertop to prevent the penetration of pollutants

Advantages: Various natural stones such as granite and marble with natural texture have hard texture, good wear resistance and beautiful texture.

Disadvantages: There are pores on the surface of natural stone, easy to accumulate grease, not easy to splice, insufficient elasticity, and easy to break.

Maintenance: When cleaning natural stone countertops, a neutral pH cleaning agent should generally be used to prevent the cleaning agent from eroding the countertop. During maintenance, the pores of the stone can be closed with a penetrating protective agent to prevent the entry of contaminants, and then the surface type protective agent can be used to protect the color of the countertop.

Tip: If necessary, polish the countertop with a polishing agent to make the stone appear high in brightness.

Stainless steel countertop to prevent scratching

Tip: It is necessary to prevent the stainless steel countertop from scratching, and it cannot be removed after the scratches are generated, so avoid using a steel ball to scrub.

Fire prevention board countertop

Advantages: Fireproof board has the advantages of light weight, high strength and fire resistance.

Disadvantages: The use of fireproof boards as countertops for cabinets has been very few. The main reason is that the moisture resistance is poor and the countertops are easily deformed. Improper craftsmanship, installation or use can cause damage to the table top and joints, causing water to enter the table and deform it.

Maintenance: When using fireproof board countertops, pay special attention to avoid blisters. When cleaning, wipe with a cloth and clean water and detergent several times before drying.

Reminder: The manufacturer will inform consumers of the precautions when selling. The maintenance method is very simple, that is, a box of floor wax can be bought in the supermarket. The installed countertops will be waxed, which not only enhances the brightness, but also is very beautiful.
