Viatera Care & Maintenance
Thank you for selecting Viatera to enhance your living space. At LX Hausys we know life happens on countertops,
but you can protect your investment with minimal care and these simple precautions.
POLISHED FINISH
Viatera Quartz Surface is non-porous and resists staining. Routine cleaning should be done with warm water and a sponge or dish towel. This
also helps prevent buildup of mineral deposits from “hard water”.
Using a little dishwashing liquid, a microber cloth, or a textured sponge that’s suitable for non-stick cookware can help remove spills or splashes.
For best results wipe, don’t scrub, rinse with clear water, and buff dry so the nish looks its best. Splashes, spills, and watermarks can also
be cleaned with household cleaning products such as:
Formula 409
®
Multi-Surface Cleaner
Formula 409
®
Natural Stone & Steel Cleaner
Greased Lightning
®
Simple Green
®
Windex
®
Disinfectant Cleaner Multi-Surface
Always read and follow the manufacturer’s labeled instructions. Do not use abrasive cleaners like Ajax
®
or Comet
®
, or a scrub pad that’s not
suitable for non-stick cookware.
BRUSHED FINISH
Viatera Quartz Surface is non-porous and resists staining. Routine cleaning is the same as for Polished Finish; however, Brushed Finish
products may need more attention than Polished Finish products. This is normal for any material with a matte nish compared to that
material with a polished nish. Smudges, ngerprints, and water spots are more visible on a matte nish.
For suggested cleaning products, reference the list above for Polished Finish.
Always read and follow the manufacturer’s labeled instructions. Do not use abrasive cleaners like Ajax or Comet, or any scrub pad that’s not
suitable for non-stick cookware. Mild cleaners such as Barkeepers Friend
®
, Bon Ami
®
, or Soft Scrub Cleanser
®
can help remove dicult spills
from the textured surface, especially when used with a microber cloth or scrubber.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Use a trivet or hot pad under hot cookware and any heat-generating appliance such as slow cookers and toaster ovens.
Use a cutting board. Cutting or chopping directly on Viatera quartz surface will dull the knife and may scratch the surface nish.
Be careful with earthenware and ceramics because rough edges may harm the Viatera nish.
Bleach and products containing bleach should not be used. However for some persistent stains (dried red wine, inks, etc.) it may be
appropriate. If so, it should be diluted, used sparingly and for less than three minutes. Then immediately rinse the area and buffed dry.
Be careful not to let harsh chemicals such as oven cleaner and drain cleaner come in contact with any Viatera quartz surface. Contact
can result in permanent damage that cannot be remedied.
Nail polish can be removed with nail polish remover (acetone), but it’s important to limit the area of contact and immediately rinse the
surface and buff dry.
