Benchtop Cleaning
and Maintenance

Throughout the life of the stone product all work surfaces including granite and engineered quartz require minimal maintenance. All our granite benchtops have been chemically sealed and treated with a surface coat of wax polish as part of the manufacturing process.

Recommendations

Wiping the surface using a damp cloth of water and dishwashing detergent is all that is required. For more stubborn dirt and streaks Lithofin Easy-Clean every day cleaner can be used. Periodically (once every few months) an application of Lithofin Polish Care Cream can enhance the shine of your work surface as well as ensure the surface remains water repellent. The lighter the coloured the natural stone, the more often this may need to be done. A full range of Lithofin stone care products is available from our Taree and Sandgate Showrooms.

Warnings

• Under NO circumstances should the benchtop be stood on to change light bulbs etc. Your cabinets will flex under the added weight and the granite will crack.
• We do NOT recommend placing very hot items such as saucepans directly onto your stone benchtop. This can cause thermal shock and cracks may result.
• We do NOT recommend using the granite surface as a chopping board. Not only will continued cutting score the surface but will also leave your knives very blunt.
