Care & Maintenance of Viatera

The composition of Viatera

makes the material low maintenance

and resistant to scratches and stains. Viatera is non-porous and

heat-resistant, and remains beautiful and durable for many years of

enjoyment with virtually no maintenance.

Regular Cleaning

Every day cleaning of Viatera only requires a damp cloth or paper

towel. For tougher spots, a mild non-abrasive cleanser can help. For

best results, clean spills as soon as possible. Because of its durability,

Viatera is able to resist absorption of lemon juice, tea, wine, fruits and

vegetables without permanently staining or damaging.

Viatera CARE AND USE GUIDE

Cleaning Dried Spills

For tougher stains and dried spills, mild non-abrasive cleansers are a good solution to keeping the surface

smooth and high gloss. Recommended cleaners include: Formula 409

Glass & Surface Cleaner, Bar Keeper’s

Friend

, Lysol

, and Greased Lightning

. For dried spills, a non-abrasive scrub pad can be used to remove the

unwanted spill without the concern of causing damage or scratching to your countertop. Rinse thoroughly and

wipe off with a damp paper towel to remove all residues. While Viatera is usually able to sustain most household

chemicals, avoid using products that contain bleach.

Spot Renewal

For tough spots from items such as gum, grease, paint, food, etc., scrape off the residue with a razor blade or

putty knife prior to cleaning. The scraping may leave a gray metal mark on the countertop and can be cleaned

off by using a recommended cleaner and a soft non-abrasive scrub pad. Polish off with a damp paper towel.

For more stubborn spots or stains, soak a pad of paper towels in water and any of the recommended cleansers

and apply the towel to the stain and let soak for a few minutes. Deeply clean with a non-abrasive scrub pad and

cleanser, rinse thoroughly, and polish off with a damp paper towel.

Polishing and Sealing

One of the many benets of Viatera is that it requires no sealants or waxes to be applied during its lifetime.

Because it is non-porous, with normal cleaning procedures, it will always remain glossy and smooth.

Viatera is NOT Indestructible! Viatera can be damaged when in contact with strong chemicals and solvents.

Avoid products containing trichlorethane or methylene chloride including paint removers, car battery liquid,

furniture strippers, and products containing bleach. These products can cause permanent discoloration to the

surface. In the event that these agents come into contact with the surface, wipe immediately, rinse with water,

and then clean with vinegar based cleaner. If the stain persists, contact the supplier/installer of your Viatera
