Difcult Spills
Silestone’s advanced technology makes its surface resistant to
damaging chemicals. To remove difficult spills, wipe the surface
with Dawn dish soap, scrub with a Scotch-Brite non-scratch
scouring pad and rinse with warm water. For stains that harden
as they dry (food, gum, nail polish, paint) remove by gently
scraping the surface using a razor blade or putty knife, holding
upright so as not to scratch the surface. Then clean using warm
water and soap. Gray marks les by the razor can be wiped away
with soap and water.
Difficult spots may be treated with one of the cleaners listed
below. Leave the cleaner sitting for up to 10 minutes. Scrub and
rinse thoroughly.
• Lacquer Thinner
• Rubbing Alcohol
• Ammonia
• Mineral Spirits
• Vinegar
• Formula 409
• Windex
• Paint Thinner
Caution should be exercised in the handling and storage of any
of the above chemicals. Manufacturer’s instructions should be
followed when using and storing these products.
Extreme Heat
Protection
Silestone is resistant to heat, and can withstand moderately
high temperatures for brief periods of time without being
damaged. Although Silestone is more heat resistant than
any other stone surface, all stone can be damaged by
sudden and extreme temperature changes, especially near
the edges. For this reason, we recommend using a trivet or a
hot pad to protect your Silestone surface from extreme heat.
